Hi everyone, 

I am considering a new pair of binocs and have some questions regarding the differences between 8x42 and 10x42 (yes, I know they are different magnifications).  I'm more concerned about stability - but if they weigh the same, is there really any difference in stablilty in the field?  I tried a friend's 10x42s at the convention and found it hard to hold them steady for any length of time.  I don't have that trouble with my current Swarovski 8x32s - still great binocs after 17 years - but I expect they are quite a bit lighter than the newer hi tech models. Any thoughts?  Thanks, 

Karen
