[QUOTE="Riflehunter1776, post: 1418712, member: 103369"] A long time ago I had a pair of Swaro EL's. They were fantastic. Then I started reading stuff on the internet and heard how all the new bino glass was just as good, or almost as good. Deep down I knew it wasn't true because I have a lot of optics and know a scope with great glass from one that's mediocre .....but I thought 'these are just for finding the deer, the scope is the critical component for the actual shot'. So I sold the EL's and went through a whole list of "just as goods". They were not. They were only ok. At the end of the day I got rid of the Meopta, ZenRay, Zeiss Conquest, Leupolds, Vortex, and Vanguard binos that I had tried out. (Although I'm keeping my compact Swaro 8x30 CL's for still hunting) Recently I just gave in to the inevitable and bought another pair of EL 10x42's, this time the new ones with swarovision. The image is spectacular. It's good to be back. I'm also picking up a set of 8x50 Leica ultravids HD's for my kid. They should arrive by the weekend and then I'll compare them with the Swaros.
