    Zeiss SF 10x42 - Are they really that steady?

    Hi all, The main reason I've gone my Swarovski 8.5x42 is because I found the shakes a bit unmanageable in other 10x binoculars I've used. I saw this advertisement with Simon King (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGINwVavN_w) who basically says he usually uses 7x or 8x, but went with the 10x SF...

    Hello

    Hello all. I have been birding for a few years and have been having a heck of a time. I always knew the common local species, but I never thought that watching them up close through binoculars would be such a joy, or that identifying something new would be such a challenge. I am still not very...
