>>2479646I have a pair of 8x25 and they are my go to, does everything I need and minimizes perceived shaking. Really comes down to the quality of the glass and coatings rather than the size IMHO.
>>2480574I agree there are serious diminishing returns on quality vs price, especially now...but there are differences and they become noticeable in less than ideal viewing conditions. I wouldn't spend hundreds of dollars on binos, but I wouldn't spend 30 either. I think I spent around $70 on my 8x25 leupolds and there is a stark difference between them and my 30ish dollars 10x25 bushnell cheapos...but the leupolds are definitely punching well above their price point.
