    Re: What power binoculars do you prefer

    I've used all of them at one time or another - 7x35's, 8.5x50's, and 10x42's. My preference is for the light gathering ability of the 50mm's and the all round versatility of the 8.5's.

    I'm not dropping any brand names 'cause that's irrelevant to the poll.

    I switched to 8x last year as I have hand shakes and need the smaller power to give me less of a headache.

    I miss the 10 x sometimes but will stick with the 8x's especially for timber hunting.

    Re: What power binoculars do you prefer

    I own a kick ass pair of tasco's. I dont think they even say a magnification power on them. So I just picked 10 because they are massive, and huge. You can see some things through them. Not others. Basically one of the worst investments I have ever made. Other than buying some washinton mutual stock a few months back at 35 dollars on my uncles word. We dont hunt together anymore....

    Re: What power binoculars do you prefer

    When I bought my Monarch's a few years back, the guy at binocularscanada told me they sell (10x) 8 to 1 over (8x) So I bought the 10's There has only been one occasion when I needed more light, but many whem I'm glad I've got more power.

    use 8 as that is the maximum you are allowed on a 3D course so I don't have to buy 2 different pair. Mike

    That I didn't know, I don't think anyone has ever checked bino power at any of the 3D shoots I've been to. I do use 8 power for those shoots, but I wonder how many don't
