The Swarovski EL binoculars have set the standard as the finest binoculars made for several years. It's hard to imagine they could be improved on but for 2010 that is exactly what Swarovski has done with the new EL 42 Swarovision binoculars, a makeover of the original EL's.
There are three main areas of improvement in the EL 42 binoculars. The first is a new lens, the "field flattener", which produce a nearly flat image which allows a sharpness of detail all the way to the edge of the image, the first time this has been acheived in any binoculars.
The second improvement is in the focusing mechanism. A new wheel with a combination of hard and soft components gives stability of adjustment and grip so it can be operated even with gloves.
The final improvement is new three position eye cups, a close position for use with eyeglasses, a long position for use without eyeglasses, and an intermediate stage for people that may need it.

The Swarovski Optik 10 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 EL's open-bridge design provides viewers with long-term viewing comfort, enhanced stability and ease of handling.

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.
