Help me decide: EL 8.5x42 vs. EL 10x50 (1 Viewer)

I agree with Jerry, I had them both, I prefer the 8.5.

NDhunter said:
I would recommend the 8.5x42 EL, as it is a great size, 8.5 X offers some nice advantages.

It has long been considered the "universal distance viewer", and you mention you prefer a lighter
binocular.

It seems you already have a quality 50mm binocular, now is the time for a top 42mm.

I hope this helps.

Well, a thread I jumped in on and it was posted in April 2018, I am sure Samolot has moved on with his choice, hilarious!.
