Rated 5 out of 5

Top of the market

I consider the EL line from Swarovski to be the top consumer grade binoculars you can purchase. The clarity and antialiasing is top notch. The magnesium housing and rubber armor are definitely built to last a lifetime. I use these for birding and general nature observations. 12x is a bit tricky at times (for myself) to hand hold, but nothing you don’t get used to. The neoprene neck/shoulder strap are comfortable having these around your neck for hours. The rubber lens cups are nice and integrated into the rubber housing for a seamless look and function. They have some heft to them, but nothing unbearable. Not cheap but for sure a “buy once cry once” product.
