Re: Fujinon FMT-SX - 10x50-advice?

Just a negative comment about the weight.

I have no experience with the 10x50s, but I did have the 7x50 fujis and decided to sell them. Of course, the optics were great, the build like a tank; but for me they were just too heavy to handhold and too small for a tripod.

On the positive side, they were the binoculars that I took to the east coast to view the Transit of Venus in 2004, and to New Zealand in 2003 to see the southern skies due to build, durability, and optics.
