    If comparing like for like e.g Leica 10x42 trinovid plus Leica rangefinder they will be heavier than the 10x42 geovid.

    I reckon it won't be far away until a 8x30 lightweight ranging set of binoculars comes out from either swarovski or Leica

    Yeah cool story
    I was just saying some setups are lighter when you made this statement

    "bino and rangefinder same weight as all in 1 unit,"

    He was obviously making that assertion based on relativity (10x42 stand-alone set up vs 10x42 combo) in which case the combined unit does actually come out a tad lighter (not that 2 ounces means much in the real world).

    Anyway. I digress. 8x30s are for weak little boys with tiny hands. Real men use 10x42's...

    Muahahahahahaha!!! Haha!! Muaha!! Muahahaha... (etc).
