I saw recently that U.S. Senate candidates Graham Platner and David Costello are planning to speak at a couple campaign events together. Does anybody know why they are doing this when they are running against each other in the primary? What’s the benefit?
I currently have 8x42 binoculars, but am considering getting something smaller, like 8x32 or 8x25, that would be easier to take on trips. Theoretically, smaller binoculars will take up less space in my backpack, be easier to throw in a smaller bag or my pocket when walking around cities, and hold with one hand while on the go. However, I’m not sure if the smaller size is worth the trade off of a worse viewing experience.
For those who have used these different sizes and maybe even traveled with them, what are your thoughts? I’d mostly be using the binoculars for nature/bird watching in cities, parks, nature preserves, etc.
