Hi all iam going to buy a pair of yeica binoculars , but what i cant decide on is what power to go for 8x42 or 10x42 i would be interasted in any feedback.
 
Have to agree I have some lecia 10x50 and they are excellent glasses but they are heavy if I was buying again it would be 8x42
 
8x better for woodland, 10x better for hill IMO so depends what kind of stalking you do
 
I have a pair of Swaro 10x42 SCL's but wished I had got the 8x42 version as most of my stalking is done in forests.

8x42 smaller brighter image 10x42 bigger darker image, depends on what suits your purpose. 8x42 would be more versatile.
 
Since 1995 I've used Swaro. SLC 10x42's - great for open hill & fine for closer woodland work. Excellent at first/last light & just back like new from Swarovski after an FOC service following 18 years of use.
Absolutely excellent customer service. ATB
