Swarovski 8x42 EL Range Binocular/Laser Rangefinder

Excelente en todo concepto. Refinado y de altísima calidad.

I bought these from Cabelas they were marked down from $3200 to $2200 and I had $1000 in points so I could justify buying these. I spent a few hrs at Cabelas looking at the Leicas', Nikons, Zeiss and it was very clear that the swarovski had a much better glass. Outstanding vivid image throughout the field of view. They were the only binoculars I could look through with out getting a headache and were the only pair I could get focused 100% with both eyes. My eyes are VERY sensitive to out of focus or light issues and if there is any slight blur I get a headache. I never had much interest into bird watching until I tried these out...its like having HD eagle vision. It's amazing the details you can see. They feel very comfortable in your hands. Very nice rubber caps that give a nice graspable surface for them to rest on. (**note the leica's because of their design want to tip over when standing on the caps. They eye pieces protrude very far and gives excellent eye relieve! no eye lashes in your line of site. As far as the rangefinder, I guess I'm not super impressed. However, I haven't used other rangefinders to compare them to. The dislikes are you need to shoot off the ground or something fairly big. It is pretty picky on what you are shooting at. Also the shortest distance it will shoot is 34 yards, not great for bowhunting. I was able to shoot 450 yards on a bright day with no problem. If I have any issues with these I'll be sure to update, but I expect you will never hear from me again.

I wish I had known there were two different size lens because the return cost me a lot of money

I received the rangefinder from Focus Camera first of all it did not look new. Looked like someone used it before Swarovski box had lots of dust on it they did not even clean it before packing.Rangefinder did not go pass 400 to 500 yards. Optics is very good but the rangefinder not. this was my experience try yours
