Hello again,
It's always interesting how the majority of people seem to go with the lower of the two choices. My own use is general countryside viewing, during riverside walks or hill rambles, with no other equipment used.
I am just about to get a pair of 8x32 and already own two similar power binoculars - 8.5x42 and 8x50. The largest ones are redundant as they're the older Zeiss 8x50 Nobilem Super and I am carrying the EL's instead nowadays.
So, I'll have the 8x32 and I'm going to change over to the new Swarovision hopefully within a few weeks for my larger carry. I've never owned a 10x binocular so would there be an argument for my looking into buying these or would you stay with the 8.5x? Any comments on benefits and downfalls to the 10x would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
