Once narratives are established, they stick like epoxy...
Imagine that Swaro has been the most successful optik marketing firm to date, in terms of weaving words. That said, I like the examples on hand...
FWIW...stole a new Pentax DCF ED 10x50 and compared it to an "old" EL 8.5x42 (first year) for some time and distances this weekend--which led to more comparisons. Bottom line was magnification and objective still are an advantage to older eyes...
but by all means if you want a lighter glass you probably won't ever regret the EL...:)
