[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 1021720, member: 34084"] I agree. 20X is a lot of magnification for a binocular. The field of view seems like a soda straw compared to a 10X binocular, and requires the viewer to make four times as many panning movements to scan a given area. For someone with good binocular vision,The human brain processes binocular images better than monocular images, and eye and muscle fatigue are lower when using a binocular. Most of the time I use a 15X binocular when long range spotting out to 1 km. In my experience, a good 15X binocular is roughly equivalent to a good 20X spotting scope. That benefit only applies to someone with good binocular vision, of course. These days I only use my spotting scope at the range. [/QUOTE]
