## Description

desertcart.com 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.

Review: Great Binoculars - I recently upgraded from a pair of Nikon Monarchs. Let me start by saying that I was absolutely pleased with my Monarchs and the customer service I received from Nikon. I cracked the eye cups on my first pair and I had condensation inside the housing that I couldn't remove. Nikon replaced the Monarchs free of charge. Now, onto my review of these Swarovski Binoculars. Being a fairly recent college graduate, it took me some time to save up for these Swarovski binoculars. Once I purchased them, I immediately new it was worth the large sum of money spent on them. The first time I used these binoculars, my eyes hurt a little bit. I quickly realized that it was due to the large amount of light that was coming through that I wasn't quite used to from my old trusty monarchs. The pain quickly subsided and I was treated to the best clarity and brightness that I have ever experienced looking through binoculars. I instantly fell in love with these. Where these truly shine, no pun intended, is in the low light conditions of early morning and twilight. The brightness that these binoculars omit help make the difference from seeing a LBJ (little brown jobby) versus seeing all the details required for identification. Overall, look forward to using these for the rest of my life and hope to be able to pass them down onto my son someday.
Review: Eye relief piece is prone to falling off - meh. I've had a different, smaller pair of swarovski's for 15 years - which I LOVE!!!! I waNted to splurge on something to use only during migration when I'm willing to carry something a bit heavier for the slight improvement in light and field of view. But, I'm not too excited by these. The eye relief thing just falls off - frequently. I switch back and forth between wearing contacts or glasses or sunglasses constantly, so I'm always needing to adjust the eye relief - but on these, whenever I go to adjust this, it just screws off the whole eye piece. It can be quite difficult to get the eye relief to adjust and NOT screw off the piece. I even returned the first paiR, thinking I'd got a bad pair. Nope, second pair is the same. And, it's not just hard to adjust - I've just had the whole eye piece fall off several times. So far, only inside the case or once inside my car but one of these days it's going to fall off on the ground and I'm not going to notice until I've walked away. For this price, I really expect something made better - my 15 year old pair is more reliable. Because of swarovski's reputation, I wonder if the seller is selling an odd lot? Not sure it's worth the risk.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Swarovski EL vs Zeiss Victory HT
*by J***T on November 17, 2015*

I read a lot about both of these binoculars online but could not decide until I looked through both of the binoculars. I believe people don’t want to try new products or want to stick with trusted products which have proven history. Here I my honest review on these two binoculars: Glass: Victory Ht wins hands down. Swarovski El is not nearly as bright. The colors are way better with Zeiss and that 3D pop gives you out of the world experience. People will tell you that there is very slight difference between the two as both are top notch products. But let me tell you compare these binoculars in the night the difference is very obvious!!! I read online that swarovski has better sharpness but with my 20/20 vision I could not verify that. Build quality: Both products have outstanding build quality but Swarovski is a bit higher. Diopter and eye pieces are better in Swarovski. Focus is easier to use with Zeiss and is faster than Swarovski. Accessories: Swarovski comes with way better accessories in the box. Zeiss case feels very cheap. Customer Service: I called both the companies and as usual the reps did not know what they were saying. They had no tech knowledge about their own products. I could never get straight answers. Zeiss have really rude customer reps. Swarovski customer service is little better. What did I end up with: I bought Swarovski just because it is a proven product and Zeiss victory is relatively new. But I am not completely happy with my choice. I like the glass on Zeiss way better than Swarovski. I will buy Zeiss victory in few years when the design is finally perfected and has proven track record.
