Friends,
Those of you that observe binocular variables, what size of binoculars do you particularly like? I really like my 10X50 Wind Rivers. I have used 7X50's with good results, but like that extra power. I find that anything above 10X50 needs a tripod. I just shake to much. I used to use 15X70's, and I really had to prop them against my body or put my elbows on the arms of my lawn chair. I sold my 25X100's and parallelogram mount. They were great, but just to much hassle to set up.
Sebastian Otero is a binocular user. Sebastian, what size do you like, or do you use a variety of sizes?
