    Dusk light performance relative to weight, NL Pure 10x32 vs 10x42

    I'm 35, and I worked for over a decade throwing tongs on a drilling rig, and I'm fit. I don't mind a heavy bino for many activities. However, doing something like a Raptor Count, where you are glassing for the majority of 8-10 hours, it matters.

    Dusk light performance relative to weight, NL Pure 10x32 vs 10x42

    200 grams on your back, you'll never notice. Holding 200 extra grams up to your face for 10 hours straight, yeah you'll definitely notice.

    Dusk light performance relative to weight, NL Pure 10x32 vs 10x42

    Although it's been a while since I've worked in retail. The trend for birders has definitely been towards 32mm binoculars, while many hunters still go for larger binoculars with bigger exit pupils. Obviously preferences vary, even among a given activity.
