Vortex Razor HD 20-60x85mm vs. Swarovski 20-60x80mm non HD older models

I agree as well.  Have you used the newer HD Swaro with the 95mm obj yet? 

Just a peak but haven't really sat behind them for any time. Sure are cool.

Have you seen the new 15s? Worth every red, financed penny.

I need a pair!  Sold my "old ones". Now just need to pull the trigger on the HD version.

Huh? What glass are you using?? 

I love my high end Nikon stuff now more than ever. Opening morning every fall I continue to be pleased when I  look through it.

I've owned 12 pieces of Alpha glass from the top 3 and either owned/demo'd most everything else on the way up.   I'd say that qualifies me to an opinion?

Benny - right there with you brother.

Are you cleaning them with Windex or some other ammonia based product?

Yep, windex and a shop towel.

I hope you're joking. ammonia based glass cleaning products will erode the hard multicoatings that are applied to all external glass that would explain a decline in performance over the years. Otherwise, I'm really curious how your top end glass has declined in quality.

I've never had an issue with high end stuff.  That was my point.

Haha...would windex work better than Copenhagen spit. If so, I'm switching.

Gotcha. I went back and reread your post.

I have not.  My 15's never seem to make it on the hill,  let alone out of the house. HD EL 10's and spotter it is for me.
