New member here. I've been using the site for a while as I research new binos - lots of great info!
I've pretty well settled on a set of Swarovski EL 8.5x42's (non SV versions) for my needs and price range. I've got a line on 2 different sets of EL's I'm trying to decide on. One set has serial #L72.... and the other is #L69.... If I understand correctly, these are 2002 and 1999 model years, respectively. I think 1999 was the first year for the EL's. Please correct me if I am wrong on any of this.
My question is are there any differences in coatings or anything else in the pre-Swarovision EL binos?
