[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1764353, member: 61747"] Being a guide and working closely with my outfitter buddy I vote Swarovski and leica. I have the swaro 10x50 EL. He is running the Leica HD B 10x42. This is a game of clarity vs magnification. The leica and swaro imho are on par with each other. Both very good glass and after days of glassing the eye strain isn't bad compared to other optics I have used. Many seem just as good until after about 4 hours, then the higher quality starts to show. It's really hard to not want to go to higher mag glass and eliminate the spotter. The problem for me is that most higher mag glass is not really enough to measure out tines long distance. So the spotter comes out and 40x - 50x is the mag needed to get that data. On the other hand, using a higher mag bino for locating is hard if not supported well. Tons of shake, low light performance is so so, etc. In the end I tend max out at 12 power, and prefer 10 for a bino to spot. To get detail I need 30x or more. On another note, I do also use a scope adapter for my phone to my binos and can zoom in and snap a pic. I can edit and zoom more to get a bit better detail of tine length. [/QUOTE]
