Thread: Swarovski slc/el bino

In saying that if I was to buy a new pair now I would opt for the 10 x 32 EL’s. You don’t compromise the power but you get a smaller package. In my opinion the perfect NZ bino.

This.
Iv also had 8x30 slc for many years but Im on my third range finder.
@Southcity interesting you note the extra light gathering of the 42 but would opt for the 10x30s now. Im looking at going to the 10x with aging eyes, I like the compact 30mm but thought the 42 would be the better option give the lager exit pupil.
