Razor-sharp bright optics

I've had these binoculars for over three months now. I'm blown away with the razor-sharp and bright optics. I got the 10x magnification and have no trouble holding them steady. In fact I tried some Canon image stabilizing binoculars (including chromatic aberration)and had more image shake. I also think the rolling-ball effect that some people mention is nonsense. The build quality is without equal. I've used Zeiss, Nikon, and Leica binoculars but these are in a class of their own. The image is sharp to the very edge and with no distortion.

Superbly clear optics, a step up from my previous brand, a joy too use, a very neutral colour balance, making object appearing sharper and reveals much better detail.
Imho best Binocular in its class

  • lesser build quality than previous generation of EL
^_^

same feel as Nikon SE, with more controlled CA, sharper edge and more neutral color tone.

easy on eyes...optically this is the best bino I've ever looked through..

compared to previous generation EL, this Swarovision have lesser build quality, IMHO, such as rubber armoring (it feels cheaper, and not as comfort as the previous one), little glue around the eyecup, nicks/flaws on some ''hidden'' places...

globe effects ?? yes, but I don't mind it....fine with me..:-O
