I love my 10x56, and totally understand this sequence. The initial impression can be underwhelming because the FOV is merely typical, and you wonder why you're holding all that weight. Then something about it really starts to impress you, even in daylight, and that big exit pupil makes for easy viewing.I don't know Dennis - have you tried the SLC 10x56 ?! That is an awesome binocular.
It is also a brick !
I have looked through this a few times - 1, I was like where's the Wow? 2nd time - I was like - ok this is nice, and the 3rd time I was like Wow there's the clarity !
Not viable hand held I don't think unless you are a hairy chested Marlboro Man!
