It's about time we got binoculars with OptiGrab(tm).

I have a set of ELs and SLCs. So I’m good for rest of my life.

Thanks Rick.

Now I know what I can spend three months mortgage payments on!

I'll have to wait for the guys on Coueswhitetail to start putting then in the classifieds after a years use. It's like cell phones, they have to have this years new model and sell last years.

Couple years ago everyone had to have the 12x50 vortec razer, then there were a ton of them for sale the next year as Swaro put out the 15x HD, now it's the Swaro 12x EL, I guess next fall it's the NL.

I'll wait.

Rick, those look more fragile than the current offerings which is their weak point IME....

Hope they are somehow beefed up...

I wonder how much you are paying for that new "forehead rest" feature....

I like my ELs, but if I have to buy another pair of binos, I think they will either be Tracts or Meoptas.

I guess now we have reached the point that we can buy a pair of 8x & 10x SLC for less than the price of the top end model. I wonder why they did away with 8.5. I thought that was about the single best pair of binos one could own.

I'd like to try a pair of these new ones out but I expect the differences will be marginal to the current model. There will be some good deals on all those selling EL's to gain that extra .5% of performance.

They still employ the EL lense system,
but have improved the field of view.

I'm sure they will be great glass, but what are they trying to do? Set some kind of price point record? Won't be long most blue collar hunters won't be able to afford decent binos..... maybe this will drive down the price of the EL's a bit?

Everything is a compromise and FOV is generally fairly low on my list of the characteristic in need of change.

Given the past pricing model for Swarovski accessories, I’m guessing the forehead rest will surpass the 1k mark.
