No issues with weight at 690 grams. these are quite light for alpha binoculars. The EL’s 10 x 32 are good compromise of weight vs FOV. I’d suggest if you’re doing a lot of walking go the smaller size, but if not too mountainous or too demanding, or close to bike or vehicle the 10 x 42 would be better.
As mentioned by others the LRF binoculars make ranging so much quicker and easier. I’m definitely converted there. You end up ranging hillsides and distance in general in case the quarry pop out somewhere and you need to act quickly. I was concerned about technology becoming outdated quickly, but this does everything I’m ever going to need it to do hunting wise.
The biggest thing was the cost at close to $5k!! Still getting over that. But long term I’m sure is a good decision. But there are other good brands out there too. The Vortex LRF’s are very good I hear.

Hope that helps.

@Ponchorello ,

Thanks for that. Currentlya ppear to cost `$5300 ..... 'close to $5K..' would be nice lol ...
