[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 889435, member: 41442"] yup and at 57 years old im sure my old eyes probably dont see an advantage in an exit pupil bigger then 4mm and certainly dont allow me to see the differnce between 4 and 5mm. The extra magnification a 10x set has probably helps me more when trying to judge deer antlers in low light then 1mm of exit pupil. Where i hunt a deer has to have at least 3 points on one side to be legal. Exit pupil isnt the last word in low light. a real good set of 10x40s is going to be better in low light then a cheaper set of 8x56. In my experience the biggest factor in low light performance is glass quality. Im not saying the preditors did bad. Im just saying i could see horns on a deer better with the nikons watching them in a feed pile at camp past legal shooting hours and that considering the differnce in price of those two binouculars it surprised me. Im sure not happy about it as i paid money for both and would have liked the stieners to beat the nikons. [/QUOTE]
