I am going this week to Utah and Arizona and wanted to buy binoculars before I leave. I borrowed a Swarovski 7x42 a couple of years ago and thought they were good.
Can anyone recommend something from either Swarovski or Zeiss as well as what model/power? If I go up in size from the 7x42, will I sacrifice brightness and also would I see shake from my hand?
What are the tradeoffs and benefits from using 7x42, 8x42, 8.5x42?
Money spend is secondary to getting the right model.
Thanks,
Ken
