Message: <blockquote data-quote="Binastro" data-source="post: 3228518" data-attributes="member: 111403">I think that the downside of the Canon 10×42 L may be the weight and whether it will stand up to the abuse of the user running around energetically and perhaps banging it repeatedly. The Zeiss Conquest HD 8×42 seems to cope with this well.I wouldn't think the lack of batteries is a problem, as even without batteries the Canon 10 x 42 L is top rate, and the user will likely have spare batteries on him.However, I think that the Canon 10×42 L will outperform any 8×42.</blockquote>
