[QUOTE="dmj, post: 1926315, member: 73479"] I just went through this exercise of looking for a new pair of binoculars. My current ones are a pair of Zeiss victory 10x30 approximately 8 years old. I settled on a new pair of Swarovski 10x42 SCL. Couple weeks ago had a chance compare them side x side on some elk at a considerable distance. From good light until it got dark. I do like the Zeiss, they are light and always felt they were clear. But the Swarovski were definitely better, especially when it started to get dusk. With the Swarovski I could see the elk clearly. With the Zeiss only reason I thought I could see an animal there was because I new it was there, but if it hadn't been for the other binoculars I would have passed right over them. Thought I seen a pair of Swarovski SCL in the optics for sale section, new for $1400. Don't know if this helps or not? Good luck with your decision. [/QUOTE]
