    How do other alphas compare to the Swarovski EL 8.5x42 and Zeiss Victory 8x25 Combo?

    I would get the SFL 8x40 and the SFL 8x30 to replace what you have. The SFL 8x40 is hard to beat for an all around binocular, and the SFL 8x30 would give you a smaller, lighter more comfortable binocular for hiking since it sounds like you don't care if it is pocketable like the Zeiss Victory...
