Review Swarovski EL Range 10x42

Lotharmike

Received in the post this morning,got a good handle on them now with the software.Impressive is probably an understatement referring to these bino's.Ergonomically in the hand they are extremely comfortable & optically outstanding.Angle compensator will take getting used to but not a bad complaint.The built in rangefinder is very fast & precise furthest has been 1372 yards so far I am informed they range a lot further.Weight is lighter than the Geovids but is negligible .The glass & colour far exceed the Geovids imo.Altogether an incredible package although very expensive worth the dosh to tell the truth.I had a look at Zeiss BRF Bino's & owned the Geovids.These are the pick of the bunch teamed with the new Z6i a lethal package.

They are about 2500 euro aren't they ,look a nice size for the power they have.

I reckon I got a bargain for €2050 ? my bucket list is getting smaller.
Got to say they are definitely worth the coin.

Have a look at Kay Optical in England. They regularly have near perfect binos for sale at prices under the 2000 mark. I got a perfect pair for 1800 there last month.

If you are really interested give them a ring and discuss. They will ring you back when they find what you want. Tony Kay is the owner

Had a look through those swaroovskis today and all I can say is that they are absolutely amazing! The nicest glass I have ever looked through.

Well wear!

Had the bino's out for a field run yesterday evening on a section 42 the buddy & I are shooting.The performance of the EL's is absolutely flawless & the claim from Swarovski of 91% light transmission would to both our eyes be very much accurate,in low light you will realize why the Bino's command their price tag,up to & into edge of forestry ,gorse sheltered areas of overhanging trees present no obstacle to the lenses,Optics are as good if not better than some of the Rifle Scopes I use & have used.The imagery is crystal clear in low light/dusk conditions,as is the RF absolute joy to use.If anyone is considering the purchase of a set Leica,Zeiss Victory,Swaro imho save your yo yo's for these & never look again at any other Binoculars.I would highly recommend them .

The detail at distance is unbelievable

Yes I can second that we where out on the hill and spotted 3 does a good 800 yards away in heavy cover all it took was the smallest amount of movement and you would pick it up very impressive bit of kit
