[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 201064, member: 3373"] Try them before purchasing is always good advice. Increase power from 8-10-12 and you are going to require more stability when viewing. Increase in power also means an increase in shaking or vibration when looking through the lens. Only you can answer how steady you are. Increase in the size of the front lens such as going from 10X35 to 10X42 to 10X50 means your pair of binoculars with bigger numbers will draw more light with better visibility under low-light conditions. It will also make them bigger clumsier, and heavier. Again it comes down to personal choice. When trying out binoculars it's a good idea to take them outside under less than optimal conditions. When conditions are poor is when the good binoculars shine. [/QUOTE]
