[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 1987393, member: 1409"] He also stated . . . . . . . . But he hasn't stated his main use for them, other than he needed low-light capabilities. For the money, I agree, those are nice, at least for much of my uses. Just my opinion, but I believe [u]most hunters choose too much magnification[/u] at the expense of sacrificing low-light clarity and [u]depth-of-field[/u] ([u]what's [i]CLEARLY[/i] in focus between close and far without having to adjust the focus[/u]). If most of your anticipated viewing is in more typical Tennessee woodlands, you'd probably find 6x magnification adequate. And typically with the big advantages of greater low-light capabilities, greater DOF (I've found that to be a [i]HUGE[/i] advantage when "looking for" deer as opposed to "looking at" deer previously seen), not to mention a much wider field of view. But then, I'm using my binoculars more for the purpose of "looking for" game, rather than "looking at" game I've already spotted with the naked eye. And most of my "looking" is at distances ranging from 40 yards to 300 yards. Even at 300 yards, those 6x binoculars present a 50-yd "naked-eye" view. The difference between 6x & 10x is the difference in a 50-yd vs. a 30-yd "naked-eye" view at 300 yards. Yet to get the same low-light capabilities of 6x32, I would need something like 10x50's.
