[QUOTE="zerosprk, post: 3041553, member: 92333"] First let me say that I've never owned Sworovski binoculars. I have however, compared Swaro SLC's side by side with Vortex HD and UHD binoculars. Full disclosure, it was during the middle of the day. Under those conditions, did I notice any kind of difference? Yes, I did. That difference was at the extreme edge of the field of view. It was subtle, extremely subtle but my eyes did detect it. Would that difference be more pronounced early in the morning/late in the day/during really flat light conditions - I'd bet yes, it would be. How pronounced would it be - I have no clue. For me and my intended use, was that real/likely difference worth the cost differential (nearly 3x) - no it was not. If money was no object, I'd run Swaro 10x42's without question. I personally am not in that situation. I don't know yours beyond what you stated, but I will say that there is a reason why most folks hold up Swaro binoculars as the standard to which every other binocular is compared. That said, I've been very happy with the Vortex UHD's that I have had for the past several years and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. [/QUOTE]
