    Swarovski SLC 15x56 Review (1 year update) & BTX comparison

    This is my experience also. For birding around local wetlands (and being too lazy to deal with a scope) I find the 15s ideal. If you don't get so close, they'll do even for passerines. ;) Coincidentally last week I also ID'd Marbled Godwit and Willet, lifers for me too.

    Swarovski SLC 15x56 Review (1 year update) & BTX comparison

    Hmm, the 8x seems focused short of the birds so not the best comparison. But yes, the 15x SLC is a great glass and I often use mine around lakes. Even handheld I can see more detail than with my usual 10x, as studies suggest should be true.
