Swarovski EL 8.5x42

I have 12x50 and 8.5x42 versions. 8.5x42 was bought 5 years ago but I never used it. These 12x50 on a tripod is what I have used a lot in last 2 months. Pros: Best eye relief available in any 12x. Optics are sharp and clear. Colors are beautiful. There are little 3D effect which I like so not comple...

These are the best optically but the focusing mechanism is not smooth-what I would expect from binoculars in this price range. I'm wondering if it is just my pair or if this is an issue?

I have had 5 years of Joy! I did an extended research covering every top level binoculars of the time. I methodically ordered, evaluated and then sent back all of them except one pair which I finally settled on. The total like of them was immediate. These !2 by 50 Swarovskis were the successful end ...

25 years ago I bought the very best binoculars I could possibly find for my use. That is, primarily hunting Texas Whitetail, pigs, turkey, and an occasional antelope, mule deer, and elk hunt.

I have been lusting after a pair of these forever. As all birders will tell you, when you meet a fellow birder, they will look down at your torso and not at your face. Yes, we all judge each other on our bins and you are lying if you claim you don't. Now, with my classic Swarovskis, I can bird witho...

Skeptical about all the hype and fuss but from a few forums and Audubon Society I always heard that Swarovski were the best. I now have to agree with now my 4th pair. I did not get them from Amazon but did Craigslist and eBay watching and making offers. SONA- Swarovski Optics North America had helpe...

I cannot stress enough how happy these binos have made me. I used them in low light for birding for the past two years at least three times a week. The extremely high quality of construction, lenses, and color rendition is beyond anything I have ever used. When I compare these Swarovski 8.5 x 42 EL ...

I bought these binoculars as a present for my wife. We are avid outdoors people, birders and hunters and appreciate the clarity, functionality, and quality of these top shelf binoculars. The engineers at Swarovski though of everything in designing and producing these binoculars. Everything is smooth...
