Hey All,
I've been using a set of 10x42 (Bx-4 Pro Guide) and I am very happy with them for the money spent.
My only concern is with the unsteady image I get when I free hand them. It's not terrible, but just enough to make it harder to see the details the glass is capable of showing (particularly when my heart rate is up and I'm trying to quickly judge if a buck is a shooter or not). After further research, it seems the knock on the Bx4s is the narrow FOV.
My question is this:
What leads to the "steadier" image that folks talk about with an 8x42? Is it simply the lower magnification of movement, or is it the drastically wider FOV (which makes the middle 'sweet spot' of the image bigger)?
I do love the multiple applications of a 10x, particular off a tripod/ braced on the window of a deer blind etc... But maybe 8x is the way to go in this regard.
Thanks!
