Only Zeiss that I know of the Classics might have been made in 8x40 all their new stuff is 8x42 ..8x is all the glass one needs for deer hunting or hunting out west. It is not too powerful that you have to hold it too steady and powerful enough to spot game at long distance and then evaluate with a spotting scope. I have Leica BA in 8x42 which are a tremendous binocular and I also have Meopta Meostars in 7x42 which are great binoculars as well.

The 8x 30 swaros are sure nice to have around your neck all day when stalking since they are roughly 10-12 ounces lighter then the SLC's or my Leicas.
