![]() But I still wouldn't call the Traveler ED "premium" in build quality, more "good enough" in a utilitarian way. I have the Opticron Discovery 8x32 and Traveler ED 8x32 right now - the Traveler ED is significantly better in all respects, including build quality. They are decent for the price, but there is nothing "premium" about them. So I think you have to decide, what is more important to you? Staying below 400g? Or having premium optics and build / handling?īased on your previous thread, I predict with high confidence that you will not be happy with any of these inexpensive Chinese clone options (Vixen Atrex / Opticron Discovery / etc). If I threw it off a cliff with my wife's Leica Ultravid 8x32, I know which one I'm betting on to still work when it reaches the bottom. And even then, I wouldn't call the build quality "premium". ![]() The ONLY premium optic that is significantly lighter than those, but still has good handling, is the Zeiss Victory 8x25. What you want (a premium sub 400g 30mm binocular) really does not exist! The lightest you will find is ~450-475g (Nikon Monarch HG, Swarovski 8x30 CL, Opticron Traveler ED, Kite Lynx, etc)
