As title, in need of some new binoculars and need some small ish ones.
Just picked up some Barr and Stroud Sahara as recommended on here (8x42)
But they are about twice the size of my previous ones / what I want really.

Thanks. Just seen they do Sahara in 25 + 32.

32 may be a happy medium... 👍🏽

I still have a pair of canon 8x23 binos I got in late 90s. They do me just fine. They have a clear and bright image. Best place to look and ask for reviews is bird watchers imo.

This... on the recommendation of various 'twitchers' I met over the years, I have been using some Opticron compacts which I have had for years. They are excellent, despite their age the image is still crisp and bright. I checked on their website & can't find the model I have but they have a number of different options available that might suit. Not cheap but the ones I have are excellent and I'm sure you'll find a model to suit.
Are you sure?
