    Swarovision EL 10x42

    I've had these binoculars for over three months now. I'm blown away with the razor-sharp and bright optics. I got the 10x magnification and have no trouble holding them steady. In fact I tried some Canon image stabilizing binoculars (including chromatic aberration) and had more image shake. I...

    Let us Vote for the Best Birding Binoculars Ever Produced

    The best birding binoculars for the money are Swarovision EL 10x42.

    Here are the new Victorys: Victory HT

    Yes when will Allbinos review the HT? Unless Arek has become fed up after all the comments on the endurance test tread.

    Comparison of Zeiss HT wih others...

    Is Zeiss going to fix the problem with the focussing wheel?

    "Swarovski 8.5x42 SV" or "Zeiss 8x42 HT" ?

    I honestly can't see rolling ball with my 10x42 Swaros. I will have to try the 8.5x42 model.

    Sorry James but you have poor comprehension skills. I used the 10x42 HT last week in store. I recently used the 8x42 HT in the field. Get over it people, the Swaro IMO is sharper than the HT.

    Comparison of Zeiss HT wih others...

    I wouldn't lean towards the HT. The Zeiss has CA across the entire field of view.

    You need to try them in the field like I did. That's when you notice how much CA the HT's have. :-C

    "Swarovski 8.5x42 SV" or "Zeiss 8x42 HT" ?

    The HT is certainly not CA free and worse it's found in the centre of view.

    "Swarovski 8.5x42 SV" or "Zeiss 8x42 HT" ?

    You seem very attached to Zeiss. Those photos proved that the Zeiss HT has CA and yet you don't want to believe it.

    Bins for naturewatching and astronomy ?

    People say you need a 7mm exit pupil for astronomy, but for me the most important thing is sharpness. You must consider factors such as astigmatism and coma when purchasing bins for astronomy. My 10x42 Swaro bins are bright enough to allow me to see many more stars than my own eyes. I can also...

    Back on topic. I got to try the Victory HT 8x42 binoculars yesterday afternoon. Yes they were a little brighter than my Swaro 10x42, but once again with Zeiss I get blackout. The HT's look and feel cheap to me, they remind me of my old Pentax PCF binoculars. I also hope Zeiss has solved the...

    Problems with Victory 10x42 T FL

    Omg, no wonder the guy in the optics shop said don't get Zeiss.

    Endurance test of binoculars

    For me it's got nothing to do with my favourite brand getting dissed. I don't own anything by Leica. I agree with Pileatus that the allbinos test was dodgy. Also Arek's comments about Leica were quite amazing. They didn't even know that it is normal for the Leica diopter to fill with water.

    Sorry but I thought Imans was comparing a Swaro with the Zeiss.

    Endurance test of binoculars

    Sorry allbinos but Pileatus does raise some valid points above.

    I'm so happy with my 10x42 Swarovision binoculars. I don't know how Swarovski could ever improve on these.

    Is the FL old hat?

    We know that the Zeiss FL was the winner of the allbinos endurance test.

    Here are the new Victorys: Victory HT

    Maybe the Zeiss HT is a lemon as others have mentioned. As I said I used my Swarovision 10x42 EL's yesterday on the observation deck of the Q1 building. It's 77 stories high and provides 360 degree views of the Gold Coast. I could read the text of signs kilometres away. My other binoculars could...

    Endurance test of binoculars

    The Leica's aren't waterproof. They scored the same as Tasco in this regard 0/10.
  23. Lyrebird79

    Is the FL old hat?

    I also find that the Zeiss has too high distortion. You'd be better off getting a Leica; just don't expect it to be waterproof.
  24. Lyrebird79

    Here are the new Victorys: Victory HT

    The Swaro is much sharper than the Zeiss HT at any distance. I used my Swaro today at the top of the Q1 building on the Gold Coast.
