This is a question for those of you familiar with the Bushnell Legend M series of binoculars.
I have some 8x42's and I like them a lot, especially for what I spent on them (about $150). I have only done one direct comparison with another set of binoculars, the Nikon Monarch 5's, and I found the Bushnells to be clearly optically superior.
My only problem with them is that they are large and heavy. They are a whole lot larger than most other 8x42's or even 10x42's that I've tried. They are a pain to haul around.
If I wanted to find something smaller and lighter, but similar in terms of optical quality, what models should I be looking at? How much should I expect to spend?
