There was one of these at the Sportsman's show too. The biggest impression I had about this is that it looks to have a better, brighter image than the Viper 8x42's in the same booth. The 8x32 was new, and the dealer had had the 42's for a little while, so are likely not new production. So this begs the question of are there any glass upgrades incorporated in the Viper line?
This looks likea 3/4 scale model of the 42 series. It is a neat looking instrument and feels superb in the hand. If I didn't have the Swift 7x36 already, and if I was more in the market for a compact glass this would be on the short list.
Lacking better opportunity for review, I'll just say I liked what I saw.
Hmm, brighter than the 42 mm? I find that interesting. Do you think it could have been the result of possibly better sharpness, contrast or the type of color bias?

I'd say there is a more neutral color bias in the 32mm, so that might be it.
