16x60 or even the 20x60, but they're up over the 1kg which
might make them a lil heavy for hand held, although John did
mention the 16x60 weren't too bad.

Rob,
Unfortunately the 16 x 60's are no longer made. The WP series II go from 12 x 50 to 20 x 60. There is a possibility there is still some new stock around of the older PCF WP 16x60's. The 16 x 60's are at the limit of handholdability, not because of weight but the magnification. In addition the TFOV of the 16x60's is 2.8 degrees and the 20x60's is 2.2 degrees. It takes a bit of practise to drop things into the FOV, with the 2.8 degree FOV, the smaller 2.2 degree FOV would be tough. The 12 x50's are a great bino and no trouble to hand hold for extended periods.
