    Nikon EDG 8x42 vs. Swarovski EL 8.5x42

    Sorry, seri in a mood this morning. Would be nice to hear other BF members experiences purchasing and dealing with this company. You know , like the pros, cons and any issues. On the few Nikon and Zeiss products I looked at , these are really good deals, as long as these are brand new stock. The...

    Nikon EDG 8x42 vs. Swarovski EL 8.5x42

    Gary, They even have the SFL for $1350, if I’m converting accurately. That puts it In a range that I’d consider a try. Do you know how much experience members here have with this sit? I don’t remember any discussions on the forum about them. Paul

    Nikon EDG 8x42 vs. Swarovski EL 8.5x42

    Interesting, I never used that site. Aren’t they a retailer? If sent back for any repairs, who would do the work and would it be covered? I’ve seen some of these EDG’s around $1400 and it’s a great deal for a new one regardless of production year, but I was always concerned about what if parts...

    Nikon EDG 8x42 vs. Swarovski EL 8.5x42

    Agreed, if we’re buying them from those places. If bought new from a Nikon UK authorized dealers, they’re about the same as the EL , and would be covered by Nikons full warranty.

    Nikon EDG 8x42 vs. Swarovski EL 8.5x42

    I find the rubber eyecups about the same on both, it’s the click positions on the EDG that are a bit loose. The only other Swaro that is similar to the EDG is my NL, which to me was a step backwards. My other EL’s all are firmer in the set points. Also depends on which Leica your talking about...

    Nikon EDG 8x42 vs. Swarovski EL 8.5x42

    I believe if we’re talking about EL’s and EDG’s , the price is about the same. I have the 8x42, and I think it’s a phenomenal Binocular, one of the most comfortable to observe with. Large forgiving eye box with plenty of eye relief, nice saturated colors, like a Leica. They do everything well by...

    Nikon EDG 8x42 vs. Swarovski EL 8.5x42

    One league above Leica and Swarovski, really and you didn’t even add an , IMO in there. Materials and eyecups, are we talking about the same EDG’s?
