Hi all. Just received my Vortex VIPER 10x42 which I ordered after a few years of using the same brand's 8x42.
To my disappointment, I don't see any difference between the two sets of binoculars as far as magnification goes. I kept looking at different objects while alternating binoculars, and the viewed image remains the same. Shouldn't there be a noticeable difference? I sure expected a 25% increase in magnitude to be bluntly noticeable..
to sum up, I'm quite confused by this. The new bins look authentic of good quality so I don't think there's any foul play here.
Thanks in advance for any opinion\info\advice on this matter.
