[QUOTE="Fulldraw™, post: 130938, member: 6287"] I have a pair of Swaros SLC 10X50 that I bought before I bought my pair of Swaro EL 10X42. I will attempt to offer a short comparative analysis on these two models. The 10X50 SLC model is superb! They are very ergonomically designed and very comfortable in the hands for long hours of glassing. If you are stationary and glassing for quarry this is the model to go with. The SLCs are of aluminum construction. The Swaro EL 10X42 are the go to glass if you are packing, walking, and climbing! The ELs are without peer in brightness, quality, and clarity. They indeed are superb and worth every nickel of their over-priced self! The ELs are of magnesium construction and much lighter than the SLC series. I own several pair of binoculars, and if I could only have ONE PAIR (God forbid) it would be the Swaro ELs hands down. That said...when weight isn't a consideration, such as when I'm sitting in a tripod stand watching a TX sendero that goes way out yonder I will choose the big SLC 10X50 pair over the 10X42 ELs because the image is a wee bit brighter due to the slightly larger objective lens of this pair of SLCs. If you compare the 10X42 SLC model against the 10X42 El model then you can REALLY the difference between the SLC series and the Els. [/QUOTE]
