I'm a little late to this thread, but here is my entry for Team 10x: My 30 year old Zeiss 10x40 Dialyt B/GA T, mounted on a Manfrotto 3130 Micro Fluid Head and an Oberwerk 5000 tripod.

These binoculars went all over the world with me when I was younger, but I hadn't used them for almost a decade because the focusing mechanism was failing and as it turns out mold had grown on one of the prisms inside. I had them cleaned and repaired by Zeiss and they now work beautifully again. It's amazing how nice open clusters look through a 10x.

My 10x50 FMT-SX is going to a new home today, so I am no longer a member of Team 10x, but a little closer to realizing my down sizing goals. Eventually, I might replace it with a 10x70 though.
