I got a Bushnell Legend 8x32 to keep in my coat pocket just a couple of
weeks ago, on the strength of a recent (and minimal) review at Better
View Desired. (These are supposedly the same basic units as the Pentax
DCF WP with different armoring and screw-up eyecups, but I haven't seen
them side-by-side to compare details.) They do fit in the coat pockets,
but weight is only a little less than most 42 mm roofs.

I haven't had a chance to totally shake them down, but I'm pretty happy
so far. They're not going to put Leica out of business, but they're a
decent value. Color and contrast is obviously better than my older
Bausch and Lomb, non-phase-corrected Japanese 7x42 roofs, so it appears
that they really have brought that feature to the Chinese factories with
some success.

Baffling is quite good: practically every visible surface between the
objectives and the front of the prisms is grooved to suppress
reflections, including what appears to be the inside surface of a
lock-ring, and looking straight south into the shimmer of a
partially-obscured sun around some ducks, internal reflections did seem
minimal. Again, better than my older, more expensive roofs.

Eye relief is just right for me. Not excessive with glasses like my
Bausch and Lombs, though with screw-up eyecups that would not have been
a problem anyway.

Apparent field of view is pretty large, and so true field is, too. The
outer half of the field shows considerable coma, but who cares. you're
going to center what you want to look at anyway.

Close-focus is amazing: claimed 4 feet, which is conservative. Looks
like closer to 3-3.5 to me.

The focus does not "snap" to its best at one point, it has a small range
of equally good focus that you suspect could be a bit better. Not
surprising. They're modestly-priced, plain achromats, not Leicas. If
you want ED glass and maximal correction of other abberations, you have
to pay!

I'd recommend them to someone wanting a decent waterproof (easy to
clean!) bino at a modest price. I'd like to compare them to the new
Swift Audubon porro in that regard. I may carry them with my big
image-stabilized Canons since they complement each other in most respects.

If weight is a problem, maybe the Nikon Action V series. I had a brief
look through one of these once, and it seemed decent. Curiously,
available in 9x as well as 7, 8 and 10x. Too small for my hands and tastes.

I haven't seen any decent, waterproof binos under 30 mm. The Fujinon
Airdrop and Canon 8x23 WP are the same item, except for the outlandish
armoring on the Fujinons. Not recommended, but I'll sell you my
Airdrops if you don't believe me!
