Problem here is that in India there are hardly any place to go and try. With great difficulty I could try 12*50 SV and I agree that in the beginning it didn't feel so difficult to hold but little later I started to feel the weight. I didn't have chance to compare this with 10*42 SV. But I was impressed with the view of 12*50 SV. View was sharp and very clear and colors were great. I guess 10*50 should be better because of higher exit pupil.I did get to try Zeiss VIctory HT 10* 42 and were able to handle them better than 12* 50 SV, but I guess I liked more view through Swarovski. Now I am only to decide between 10*42 vs 10* 50 SV. Although I would want to go for 10* 50 SV but not sure of , if I can handle it.Sanjay</blockquote>
