For a moment here I thought I was in the DPreview.com camera forum ...... where rumor, speculation and future telling prevail above the facts . Unless someone here works for Leica, Swarovski or Zeiss ..... and have access to the books ...... what do you really know ? Do we know their market strategy and goals ?
I'm a consumer ...... and I prefer Swarovski . Above all the eye pieces work best for me . I've tried all the top ones ...... and they're all terrific. They're made with fancy named glass to ooh and ahh us ..... like we really know what they're talking about . We're comparing apples to oranges to bananas ..... and to each their own .
Binoculars are great to use aren't they ? They're a wonderful tool to assist us in our vision ..... I hope they were never intended to be analyzed beyond reasonable curiousity ..... because beyond that we may as live in a laboratory ..... what a view that would be !
My truth is ...... I really don't know squat. What do any of us 'really' know ?
Good Day, Garth

Why would Swarovski replace the EL?
Well somebody's gotta be the first to crack the $2,000 price point. Might as well be the silver hawk.
I hope they don't forget to make a really sweet $400 case for it.

I'm ready and anxious, cash in hand. I want to see a 7.5x35 Swaro EL and a 9x35 Swaro EL, with improved color and contrast, perhaps with HD objective lenses.
Actually I think Swarovski already may have upgraded their ELs. 1-2 years ago I compared an "old" EL 10x42 with the Leica Ultravid 10x42 and to me the EL had a rather "cold" image, with a slight "bluish" color to it.
Today I tested a brand new EL 10x42 against a Leica Ultravid 10x42 and found, much to my surprise, that the colors of this EL was much closer to the Leica. In addition, the EL was both a tad brighter and showed slightly more contrast. I then compared it to a Zeiss 10x42 FL and found the two images almost identical, but again slightly more contrast in the EL! Now, if they only could do something about that eye relief...
So, is it just me, or have really Swarovski upgraded?
