What would you recomend in a compact binocular in the 10x26 to 10x28 range. Am considering the Pentax DCF MP 10x28, the Steiner Predator 10x26 and Bushnell Trophy 10x26. I want something small enough to put in my pocket, yet sharp enough to count points. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Tom |

Compact binoculars are going to seriously hider any low light hunting situation. They simply lack the ability to gather light due to their small exit pupil. I owned a pair of Zeiss 8x20's year's ago and sold them after one hunting season. If you have pockets that will accomodate, say, a 8x32 roof prism binocular you will be far better off. You will find a wide selection of manufacturer's to choose from along with a wide price range as well. Good luck.
