[QUOTE="Catskills, post: 1948070, member: 106302"] Most of my western hunting is long range spot and stalk. I have 8.5x42 EL(non-swarovision), 10x42SLC and 12x50 EL. After countless hours passing these binos back and forth in all light conditions, I’d personally go with the 12x. They are brighter than the others at last light, and the clarity is amazing. Also, I’m almost always sitting or standing leaning on something for additional stability. With this style of hunting, I don’t see a real benefit of the 10x. I’ll bet the new 8.5 EL swarovision binos are stunning at last light. Interestingly, I’ve always felt the SLC coatings provided better color than the ELs. I also use a spotter for all western hunting. For whitetails or where where not trying to glass deer miles away, the 8.5 ELs rock! [/QUOTE]
