    I have a pair of Kowa Prominar 10x32 binos. Sold my Minox 10x44s as they were just too big and heavy for my liking and the Kowa's are every bit as good.
    Their optics are excellent and they are much lighter (250 odd grams) than the average 10x42s.
    FOV is fine (105m at 1Km, only 5m less than the Swarovski 10x42 SLC). I find them a great compromise between weight and performance. The quality of the glass is more important than the size of it.
    I also have some Minox 8x25s for bush hunting. Perfect for when my eyes just aren't good enough.
    PS Had the Kowa's in the Lambert @Ryan_Songhurst and did a LOT of glassing. Never found them wanting.

    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.
