Wanted a compact binocular for crossbow deer hunting; tired of hauling 2 lb binocs around. After checking out a bunch I settled on the Pentex DCF LV, in 9x28. Just 11 oz of pure binoc joy. Great optical quality, good controls and ergonomics for less than $200. There is no Z or L in it's name but I'm impressed. Everyone that purchased them rated them 5 out of 5. I that's what sold me.
