    7 year old 8.5x42 el’s ????? Just as good????

    Gotta say after playing around with them all day, the focus is a non issue. I just needed to get used to it.

    Ok. Here’s my first impressions. Excellent eye relief. I don’t wear glasses, but found my slc’s a little finicky on eye placement. Not these! Unbelievable depth of field. The fov, brightness, sharpness, all those seem top notch, but I don’t have another too compare. Only complaint is the focuser...

    So are we saying more rolling ball for an early 2010 model, or less? I guess thats my root question. Swaro says no difference.

    Has the rolling ball issue lessened from 2010 swarovision to current. Swarovski says it hasn't changed. Some here seem to suggest it has?

    Been lurking for years, getting ready to buy a 2010 el 8.5x42 swarovision. I love the field pros, but can’t justify the extra dough. I know about the focuser issues on the older models, but was wondering about other diffrences. Besides the obvious, some have mentioned increased rolling ball...
