I was out with my 10x30's today and wished I had brought the18x50's. On my local patch a juvenile Peregrine was sitting on an electricity pylon, I could just barely make out its ID. Ducks on the water were just a little too far off to ID immediately, I had to work hard even with IS on. I'm more accustomed to the inertia of the 18x's, I realised, and I got a little cramp in my fingers holding down the 10x's IS button.This, and the aperture question of the 10x42's, leads me toward the 15x50's as a possible purchase in the near future. Or Canon has to come up with a 10x/15x dual mag bin, which I do not expect in the near future.Regards,Ronald</blockquote>
