I am a die hard Swaro guy.  Have a pair of Swarovision 12x50s and an 80 HD spotter.   I don't like the ergonomics of the EL range, they didn't use HD glass....  internal ballistic software is a joke, the inclinometer is nice, but not $2900 nice.   A heavy pair of Swarobright els is what I see.  We waited a long time for this?  Kind of a bust.   I'll keep my Zeiss RF 10x45.

I have used them, they are bright, even at night with only ambient light. They are clear, and the range finder works awesome.

I tried out a pair at the SCI show is Vegas this past week. They seem pretty great.. It is tough to really give an accurate account of any binos though when you are in a big convention hall and just looking across the room. The price is really high, I will admit.

tried them at the dortmund hunting and hound show last weekend. very nice.

they ride like normal binos till you hit the button on the bridge and a dot shows up for point of aim.

They were comfortable and not too wicked heavy for super euro binos.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

I am lost as why they chose non HD glass as well. :dunno:
