The Elite 7x26 is one of the "best buys" in the binocular world IMO.
Yup.
My 1st generation 7x26's get carried more than my Mk 1 Swaro 7x and 8x SLC's--if I could find some used 1st generation custom compacts in great condition I'd buy 'em in a heartbet. Mine are getting a bit beat up. Fantastic eye relief, good optics, easy to use, very easy to carry.
I also have the 2nd generation, like them a lot too.
In the mid 90's, we compared the Zeiss vs Swaro vs Bushnell compacts one evening in New Mexico--the Ziess and Swaro owners were quite surprised......the Bushnells were better.
I think the 3rd generation is coming on the market.
Right now there are some good buys on the 2nd generation.
