Remarks:

Swarovski had stopped producing its 8×20 pocket model for a number of years (see separate post “Swarovski Habicht 8×20 Pocket”) when it introduced its new “CL Pocket” in format 8×25. Regarded by many as the best pocket binocular available today; others prefer the new Zeiss Victory Pocket 8×25. Slightly larger than a true “pocket” binocular, the Swarovski with its excellent optics feels almost as if you were using an 8×30.
