Zeiss 10x56 ????

[Duknutz]

Does anybody out there own a pair of Zeiss 10x56 Victory FL's?How do you like them?Any problems?
I am picking a brand new pair up on a deal and was trying to decide on the 8x56 or the 10x56.Already have a pair of 10x40 leuo's.I know they are heavy,but the clarity was awesome.Going to be used in a high altitude drop camp along with a spotting scope.Any info would help before I give the call,thanks....Duk..

I have Swarovski 8x56 and you can see really good in the dark with these. I also have the doubler to make them a 16x56 spotting scope.

Thanks for the input Glasseye,I think I will pickup the doubler/tripler for them also.Hows the weight of those bino's?,I have a crooked horn strap on my 10x's and will put a set on these also.The weight is worth the clarity and viewing area is what i'm thinking...

Gave the call and they should be here on Friday or Saturday.Got the 10x's..

The 8's would have given you maximum light gathering capabilities, 56 divided by 8 = 7 m.m. exit pupil, that is the same as the human eye pupil.
You'll need a tripod, I like the Manfrotto Bogen 3205GN3 with the 3265 head. They don't make the 3205GN3 model anymore so you'll have to look for it on ebay.
