 I have the 10x42 Zeiss and love them.  I am 67 yrs. old and do not have any 
trouble with shakiness or difficulty to focus.  I can focus at 5 ft or across 
my 10 acre field.

Since 2000, I've had the Swaro 8.5x42 EL bins, and love 'em!



I like the optics, mechanics and ergonomics.



As far as magnification goes, I prefer something in the 8-8.5x range. 

Anything below doesn't magnify as much as I want; anything above makes me 

susceptible to hand shake.  Plus the light gathering (exit pupil) is a bit 

better with the 8.5x than the 10x bin.



Just my two cents!
