Update! Back from swaro, rock solid. Swaro service replaced the bayonet locking mechanism. Who knows, maybe i messed it up switching eyepieces?

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...

Thanks guys. Called swaro and sending it in.

They just arrived today. Haven't got home from work to open them. I’ll let ya’all know, after i play around with them.

To late now. Haha!

Got em. $1500 on ebay. Everything checked out with swaro. Super excited.

Wierd, I would have expected to hear similiar experiences.

I just picked up a used 25-50 eyepiece. I have been using the 30sw on my 65ats for a year now and never noticed any fit issues. But this 25-50 has significant movement when locked in place. Put the 30sw back on and its much tighter, but still a little movement. Checked out a new 20-60 at cabelas...

We’ll it sounds like if I love the newer pros, I’m gonna love a 2010 model. While saving quite a few bucks. Thanks everybody who chimed in.

Kinda. I thought it can be worse in some models?

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...

Hey safaridreamin, I purchased the 30sw for my 65 and havn't put the 20-60 back on since. What's you're feeling of the 25-50 vs the 30sw. I can't help but think that the wide zoom would be the end all eyepiece. But then again, maybe its the 30!!!
