Thread: The Case for 15x56 Binoculars

I definitely prefer the 8s over 10s for hand holding (FOV and strain). Would having the 15s in the quiver give me much over just alternating 8s and 10s based on average distance at a given spot?

Have you tried using your 10s on that tripod setup?

If you have 8s on your chest then no real downside to 12x or 15x binos in your pack.

If you've been using the 10s on that "tripod" setup and find it's steady enough and still not giving enough magnification, then yeah I'd be looking at more magnification.
