Been debating picked up a set of rangefinding binos. Anyone have an in hand comparison of the 42mm vs 32mm? Thx.

If it helps I have with the 8x42s vs 32s and the 32s give very little, or nothing, to the 42s except their compactness and weight.

Not sure if 32mm objectives would be a bit tight, lightwise, for 10x. In 8x they are not.

Thx. I’ve handled the 10x32 and compared to my 10x42 nikons (which are pretty compact) they give up a bit of FOV. Trying to find the 10x42’s locally to handle.

My $.02………..I have the 10x42s and really like them. I got them before the 32s came out and planned to make the 42s my general purpose bunos. However, if I had to buy again, I would get 32s (probably the 8x).I typically take 2 binos on hunts and feel the smaller set would make for a more useful setup combined with 15xs. Now, if I was only going to have one bino, it would be the 42s.

I prefer the handiness of the smaller 32s, when making a final stalk and saving the larger diameters for spotting.
