Meopta 12x 50 vs Swaro SLC 10x40
« on: November 11, 2020, 01:23:58 PM »
I know its apples to oranges but after a week in Utah you could’nt pay me to go back to the swaro’s.   I borrowed son’s Meopta’s and difference was amazing.   

The Swaro 12x50 at twice the cost of Meopta’s are likely as good but the extra weight of the Meopta’s are worth it vs the SLC’s IMO.

I have 10x40's in meopta and swaro EL's, my wife has 10x40 SLC's.  I can say with equal magnification the swaros are superior in both cases, the EL's are the best of the three.  I think the magnification difference between the two you are comparing may be giving you a false sense of superiority.  With that said everyone sees things differently.  The Meopta's are certainly easier on the wallet.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

So I have a late season deer tag and it seems everytime I turn around my wife is asking to use my binoculars to take a look.  I assume mine are just a little bit clearer than hers.
