  • 10x is too much on a boat
    • I have a pair of 10x42 binocs...
      • Sure, Todd, but you got arms of steel from hefting them boats....
        • "steel arms" are not what you need
  • Stick with the seven power by fifty. You want light and image stability in your viewing.
    • Had those for years, then got some Nikon 8 x 40s. LOVE 'em
  • 7x50s
    • My I-S binos are Fujinon, not Canon
      • The Fujinons are well made and work fine
  • There's a good reasong 7x50's are the most widely used recommended...
    • I second that. I've had mine for over 20 years.
    • I've seen reported at 300' vs 357' as a field of view for the 7 vs 10x power.
