    When you are spotting the head of a tahr over or in scrub at 1.5-2.0km, 10x comes in handy. The extra 25% is significant, more so if you are not carrying a spotter to then assess animals after that - well, in my experience anyway. I'll be first to admit my eyesight isn't awesome.

    I had a set of 8x32 Trinovids, didn't have them long, much prefer the 10x32/42s.

    Love my HDBs
