[QUOTE="BlackTail30, post: 1764773, member: 8632"] Lot's of good info here already but I'll add my 2 cents. Everyone's eyes are different so you really owe it to yourself to get your hands on as many of these as you can and check them out for yourself, preferably side by side. Another piece of advice is to make sure you know how to set the diopter on each bino, to make sure you're getting the best image possible out of each set. I've watched dozens of guys grab a set of binos at the store and I've yet to see one set the diopter, so that it can be properly focused for their eyes. About 10 years ago I was dead set on a pair of Leica's based on reviews. Almost ordered a pair online but decided to check them out in person first. When I compared the Leica ultra vid HD side by side to Swarovski EL swarovision, to my eyes, the Swaro's were noticeably better! The other thing I found out, by getting my hands on a set, was I could not use the Swaro 15's. They were too wide for my eyes. I couldn't be happier with my 10x50 EL's. I think they are the perfect Western bino. Brighter than the 10x42. Brighter than the 12x50 and easier to handhold. A couple years back I started mounting my bino's on tripod and I was completely blown away all over again. I'm a gear junky! I love looking at gear. Rifles, scopes, packs, boots, clothing, you name it. I'm done looking at bino's. For my eyes, I already know I have the best out there. [/QUOTE]
