What Tunes said about the Bushnell Custom Compacts....which are no longer made. Absolutely superior optics, very light weight and very compact even though they are poro prisms. They are not waterproof, however. I have them in the 6X25 and 7X26 configuration and prefer the six power one. Purchased in the early and late 70's and they were expensive back then. Obviously you would have to buy them used..... I also really, really like my Leica 8X32. Superb optics, relatively light weight (19 oz), waterproof, etc. Also have a 4mm exit pupil which is about as small as one can go and still have an effective glass for less than ideal lighting. Expensive but worth it in my opinion. Both the above are on a par with my Swarovski 10X42 which are too heavy to carry around for an extended period. FWIW, my early background was in vision and optics.
