I've been using my Leupold Katmai 8x32 for moose hunting and really like them - way better than the Nikon Travelites I had last year and my old Minolta mini binocs that wore out after 20 years of hard service. The Leups are heavier but I never noticed it. I DID notice the better views. One thing I'm not pleased with is the ocular eye cap system. They don't stay on well and get in the way hanging off the neck strap. May just remove it totally.
I got these Katmais from Optic Zone - good price and fast shipping.
