For compact inexpensive dictionaries, you could try
the new one by Warren C. Trenchard. The paperback is
cheap and portable; the hardback costs twice as much,
I recall. Here is a review:

that criticizes it for similar reasons to Carl
Conrad's (and others') criticisms of the UBS4 Barclay
Newman dictionary. It's similar to Newman's, and adds
some things Newman doesn't have, and omits some things
Newman provides. My Langenscheid's Greek-English
Dictionary (very old edition, but it may be an earlier
edition of what Carl is referring to) also seems
primarily to be translation glosses. Somewhere in my
mess of an office is my old Abbott-Smith, which is now
in paperback, I believe, for $38

But ... BDAG is the way to go.
