Originally I was going to go with the 8x42s but these have a slightly wider angle. ==================================== I've had the 8x42 Legends for 12-14 years and have been extremely pleased with them, especially at the price point (<$300 back then). However, I don't think they were ED/HD glass back then. Strong points are durability, waterproofing, ergonomics, excellent eye-relief, and comfort. Optically they are certainly bright and sharp enough for any needs I might have, but I wouldn't try to compare them to the high-end gear costing $1,000 and up. Thankfully, mine are black! ;-) -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085
