A huge deal if you want to admire butterflies or the rapidly spreading athletes foot infection on your toes  That and the extra weight makes the 10x50 unattractive to me in spite of the optical prowess. You made the right choice."If you want to look at butterflies or foot infection get a Pentax Papilio. The 10x50 SV is not the proper tool for that.:-O</blockquote>
