Please tell your expected rate. Otherwise how can we say whether we are interested or not?

Tell us about your expected price at least.

In 8 x 42, ..
8 (Magnification):

This number indicates how much closer the binoculars bring distant objects. For example, a magnification of 8x makes something look eight times larger than with the naked eye.

42 (Objective Lens Diameter):

This is the diameter of the larger, front-facing lenses in millimeters. A larger objective lens, like the 42mm one, gathers more light, resulting in a brighter image, especially in low-light conditions

Similarly in 10 x 50

Usually we say that 8 x 42 is optimum. Reason being more the magnification, steadier our hands need to be. The subject we see in the binocular may shake if magnification is too much and our hands are shaky. If magnification is very high as in astronomical scopes etc, one may have to mount the binocular or scope on a steady tripod or other mount.

50 Diameter may gather more light than 42 and appear brighter, but overall binocular will be heavier and costlier (for the same quality).

So we need to strike a balance between magnification, light gathering, weight, cost etc. So usually we say 8 x 42 is optimum balance.

But you can always think about the above parameters and decide what you want and choose accordingly.

My friend her in Mangalore has one Canon 70D Camera in good condition. If interested, email to me at [email protected]. I will give his contact to you.

I suggest you get in touch with your Camera Dealer and Purchase a Dehumidifier Cabinet available in the market. It is a must in this humid climate especially for the lenses.

In my humble “Opinion” take it to service center only if there is a complaint. Normal cleaning is blowing off the dust on lens glass and camera body by using a Rocket Duster available at Amazon, Use a Shaving brush to brush off the dust on camera body. Use soft cloth to wipe. That’s all is needed. Happy using.

Never try dusting with either lens back end or camera with the hole open. Better to keep the lens on the camera while doing dusting.

I am open for correction.

I have been removing the card and download photos on to my computer for the past 15 years. I have had no issues with camera or card. It is recommended to format the card in the camera after photos have been copied on to computer ( Do not format the card in computer )

I was at one time having similar questions, never getting good images. Then I realised I was not having good technique of shooting. Fortunately we have very good resource of Videos made by Sudhir Shivaram Sir in this very website. Go through all of them and practice photography in the field. Is the image not focused properly? Is there hand shake? Is there subject shake? Is the shutter speed enough? Is the light falling on the subject enough? Is the camera set for high ISO? … so many parameters. Once we master these things, then we need to think of better equipment. Have you shared any images in the group? If so, please point out so that experts may be in a position to check. If not, share some and let the experts know.

I have written from my limited experience. Sudhir sir will reply separately when he is free.

Why don’t you go for some other similar head?

[Gopala Krishna Baliga]

Sorry for the delay SU Girish.

I understand your question. I will tell you why I do it. Hope that will shed some light. I use a DSLR camera which does not have eye focus function.

Suppose I use Center focusing point to focus on a bird… let us say. Fist I focus using back button to focus on the bird’s eye. ( I have remove focusing function from shutter release button ). Now the bird’s eye is at the center of the frame. I want to place the whole bird to a side to conform to rule of thirds. Now I leave my finger from the back button, recompose using view finder, press the shutter release button.

There are many such situations when we may need to recompose. With practice, we should be able to learn it better. Hope this helps.

Already sold sir. I had updated in main post at that time itself.
