Awhile back I was really liking the images of the lower power bins, likely because I had a shoulder injury that weakened the muscles on the entire left side of my body, but lately I've found myself doing a lot of field work with my 10x. I almost never use my compact scope (Opticron MM30 50) as it is more burdensome and rarely seems to provide an ID I cannot get with the 10x. I have not been using my 8x32s at all as of late as I really like the improved detail I'm seeing now that I can hold them fairly steadily. I don't know that it every helps with actually gaining an ID, but the image is pleasant.J</blockquote>
