    Binoculars: 8x or 10x?

    Hi Deekin I struggle a bit with AF bins as my eyes aren't perfect, The slight difference from one eye to the other makes it a bit hard to focus through them! These are actually not as bad as others that i've had through the years, I had one set that I couldn't see through at all, They were...
