[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 939321, member: 4809"] At a price point of $1,400 you are looking at the first generation of 10x42 el's. They were marketed with the term 'Swarobright'. The newest (or second generation) el's were marketed with the term 'Swarovision'. These newer el's have the lens flattening technology. You need to be careful in buying a used pair of el's as Sellers - and eBay - often use these terms interchangeably. The easiest way to tell the difference is that the first generation el's have the logo exactly opposite of the Swarovski name on the other barrel. These used binos will go for about $1,400. I've seen them as low as $1,200. And I have seen them go as high as $1,600 - but I think the Buyers were not aware that they were buying the Gen I el's. The newer Gen II el's will have the Swaro logo placed low on the opposite barrel very close to the objective lens. These will go from $1,650 on up to $1,900 in used condition. As to the difference between the new SLC HD and the Gen II el's, Bruce hit it on the head. Very subtle difference. Something most of us would notice only after being told exactly what to look for. Good news is: no matter which way you go you get the best glass out there today. [/QUOTE]
