Product Review

New Swarovsion Technology allows for greater viewing comfort, especially for eyeglass wearers. Using field flattening lenses, which help create a true image, it is possible to produce diamond bright image resolution right up to the very edge of the field of view ensuring the finest detail without any edge distortion. HD lenses minimize color fringing and guarantee razor sharp images with the highest possible resolution.

Made by Swarovski Optik, these EL 42 binoculars features the company's signature Swarovision technology for optimal image resolution over the entire field of view. The technology features a combination of field flattener lenses and high-definition optics that yields outstanding contrast, even when you're using the binoculars at dusk. Even the finest structures and smallest details are reproduced with razor-sharp clarity. The fluoride-containing HD lenses minimize color-fringing for contrast-rich images with razor-sharp outlines.

The binoculars are also notable for the greater eye relief of the exit pupil that they provide. This enables even people who wear glasses to survey the entire wide-angle field of view.

Enhanced coatings on the lenses and prisms yield absolutely lifelike color reproduction and outstanding image brightness for spectacular observation experiences, even at dusk. The Swaroclean coating on the outer surface of the lens ensures a non-stick effect, making it easy to clean.

This review is from: Swarovski Optik EL Swarovision Binocular, 8.5x42 mm (Sports)
I was unsure whether to get these or the Leica Ultravid or the Zeiss Victory counterparts. I was able to compare the Swarovski and Zeiss in a store, but the Leica was hard to find (only one desler in Boston area).

It took Leica's 800 number a week to return my inquiry to their tech service person regarding what appeared to be their distinctive coatings, so I eliminated Leica based on poor distribution (at least in the Massachusetts market) and poor customer support.

As between the Swarovski EL Swarovision versus the (less expensive) Zeiss Victory, I felt the two were a near optical tie.

But, I subjectively preferred the Zeiss for their grey external body color versus the Swarovski green and I liked the Zeiss image color vividness and the snappy focus better than the Swarovski's seemingly more shallow depth of field. And, I disliked the Swarovski double-hinge "appearance". However, the tie-breaker, for me, was the excellent Swarovski field of view for...Read more

First, The price of these may make you choke, but 5 mins in the field and you won't look back.
I own an earlier version 8x32EL that I thought were close to perfect until I tried these.
Clear,crisp,bright,fast, and an outstanding close focus.
Second, The service Swarovski provides is second to none.
I sent an old pair of 10x42SLC's in for cleaning and they came back w/ new objective lenses, new focus mechanism, new eye cups, and they re-armoured them.I was totally blown away and it was FREE.

Yes, this is the best you'll probably find. I was pretty happy with my Nikon Monarch ATB, with the new dielectric coatings, but knew that the 6-9-time price range was better. Not because of the price, but the quality.

I tried many of them in local shops and read many, many reviews on them. My eyes and hands landed me with these. After using for a couple months, my eyes love it.

I had doubts about the claims about low-light conditions. I'd had other optics (spotting scope and camera lenses) that really showed what high quality looks like, but I was surprised to see that the claims were true about these.

The diopter setting is nice, especially if someone else needs to change it, you can change it back very quickly by just looking at the dial settings. On the down side, I did pop the cap a couple times and ending up twisting the diopter instead of the focus.
