A simple question for you all.
I have reached the age of "old age shake" (OAS) and am finding that I can't keep 8x binoculars as still as I used to. This happended with 10x some years ago.
I would appreciate comment from anyone who has tried to eliminate OAS and found benefit or not from a downward magnification move. Is it really worthwhile or are the minuses too significant?.
Just out of interest. Many years ago when I was in the army I was given a rifle to fight the enemy (bad move). The problem was that the end waved about so much that I couldn't hit the proverbial barn door and the result could be described as friendly fire, so maybe the OAS is a manifestation of that problem.
