Binoculars - what size?

[JabaliHunter]

Following on from the thread about binocular magnification, I should have asked what objective lens size you prefer?

The reason that I have 8 x 42's is that all the most experienced I asked seemed to use this size

8 x 42 seem easier in the eye to me. Good field of view too.
