[QUOTE="kpacker, post: 2020819, member: 34031"] I've debated and debated this question myself for years. For a long time I ran my 10x42 ELs(12yrs old w/o swarovision) and a Leica RF. Worked great. I'm all about simplifying and cutting weight in the field. This last year, I bought the zeiss RF binos, kinda went all in on one unit. It weighs more than the ELs and a bit bigger but less weight than the ELs and the Leica together. I figured I'd always have my binos on my chest no matter what or how I was hunting. It works well too, glass is very pretty much equal to these older ELs. I'm guessing the newer ELs would be better glass than these Zeiss RF binos though. Hunting for me is all about binos on a tripod. I run the Outdoorsmans bino adapter which the Swaro RF binos can't run. I jumped on the Zeiss RF binos because it can run their bino stud and adapter. Now, the zeiss ballistic software in the things I can't get to work for me, I really only use the range and angle compensated range; I have other things to that I use to calculate my numbers from there. These have been my thoughts basically. Let me know if you have any other questions , I'm happy to chat about it [/QUOTE]
