The original survey was modified midstream to allow only one selection when it originally asked for multiple selections. Several folks commented on this, but, like me, were apparently stuck with whatever their first selection happened to be. Since 8x32 appears earlier in the list than 8x42, it may be that this biased the results in its favor. I noted on post #2 that 6x25, 7x26, 7x35, 8x20, and 8.5x44 were missing even though many famous birding binoculars have these configurations. Moreover, 19 of the 36 configurations that were included had zero responses. Finally, although the question at hand was "What binocular configuration do you prefer," the preference could be for any use, e.g., Birding, Hunting, Nature, Travel, etc.
I wouldn't be too quick to draw momentous conclusions here. :smoke:

I'll second that, Ed.
Conclusions based on such a small sample (88 voters) are statistically unreliable. Also many people use more than just one pair of binos, depending on the application. The survey should allow multiple choices, and it should be open for a much longer period of time to allow more people to vote.
