Cons Price, focus turns, magnification.
Recommended it? Yes

I've been a birdwatcher for about 20 years and this is my third pair of binoculars. I've owned them for about two years.

Pros clarity durability, light enhancing ability.
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

We bought these binos after shopping around a bit and trying several other types, Leicas etc.

The only complaint I hear is that the focus takes a few more turns to move from close in (about 8 feet) to infinity. We both have not found a problem with this.

They have a great... Read full review »

Swarovski Optik 8.5 x 42 EL SwaroVision Water Proof Roof Prism Binocular with 7.4 Degree Angle of View

Swarovski Optik 8.5 x 42 EL WP Roof Prism Binocular - Rainguard - Pair of Tethered Objective Covers - Snap Shot Adapter - EL42/SLC42 Functional Bag - Swarovski Warranty.The Swarovski Optik 8.5 x 42 EL SwaroVision Water Proof Roof Prism Binocular combines maximum functionality, innovation and design. The unique wrap-around grip enables comfortable operation even with one hand. Low weight and excellent balance make light work of long observation periods. The sophisticated top-class optical system delivers high-contrast, lifelike image quality. The EL's open-bridge design provides viewers with long-term viewing comfort, enhanced stability and ease of handling. The housing is covered with a rubberized finish that offers a secure tactile grip and a bit of shock resistance. Stellar all-climate performance is ensured via nitrogen purging. The rugged magnesium housing is sealed and purged to create a watertight and fogproof internal system - one that's impervious to dynamic climates and difficult conditions. The focusing system has been upgraded as well - this optic focuses down to 4.9' and the viewer can go from infinity to minimum focus with two full rotations of the center-focus dial. A wide angle field of view and truly noteworthy eye relief contribute to this fine sporting optic's viewing performance. Even when wearing glasses, the view remains unobstructed, free from vignetting and lush with crisp detail.

Swarovski Optik Swarovision EL 42 Binoculars - 8.5 x 42

These binoculars combine field flattener lenses, fluoride- containing HD lenses, and an optimized non-stick coating to ensure an impressive image resolution across the entire field of view, even when observing at dusk. Spectacle wearers also benefit from the full wide-angle field of view, and the removable twist-in eyecups are individually adjustable in three stages. The wrap-around grip and focusing mechanisms are designed so that the binoculars can be held securely and easily operated with one hand, even when wearing gloves. All load-bearing parts are made from high-quality alloys for maximum ruggedness and stability. The rubber amoring ensures a comfortable, non-slip grip, even over a long period of time.
