Thread: 10x25 or8x25 recommendations

Can anyone recommend a good pair of binoculars in 10x25 or 8x25 . I have had a look on the internet but the main producers don't seem to have much in the 25 lens size. At least not in new zealand anyway.

I have a good pair of leupold 10x40 but I find them big enough to be a pain in the arse so usually get left at home

I have Leica 8x20s I carry every day for work. They are pretty amazing, but struggle in the first and last half hour of light, so for hunting I use 10x42s. Dad has Leica 10x25s and they are pretty much the same, just a little larger for not alot gained performance wise.

I have the Leica ultravids 10x25. I find them better than my vortex diamondback 10x40s. And a quarter of the size and weight of the vortex too. My old man also has the Swarovski 8x20b. I find the Swarovski easier to look through, however glass is just about the same. If I would keep an eye out for the Swarovski 10x25 pocket mountains.

Swaro Pockets all the way

100% agree. 8x will have a slightly bigger FOV and more importantly a bigger exit pupil. Would love a pair for bush hunting

With Geovid
8 out of 10 guys go 10x over 8's
With Mountains
8 out of 10 guys go 8x over 10's

Yeah I prefer 8x over 10x in a full size bino

I have the 8x and think they are great. Easy to use and always carry them as they are light enough not to worry,

Thanks for the input , I'll get myself a pair of Swarovski pockets
