Alan M. said:I believe I posted a similar message to this a few weeks ago. A phone call to Swarovski in the US elicited a response that an upgrade to the new focus system for the EL 8.5 x 42 might be available eventually, that I should phone every month or so for any further information. This response as well as other parts of the conversation made me hopeful about an upgrade.
An upgrade to an existing bin is very different from a redesigned focus incorporated into a new bin. Apparently, newer ELs with serial numbers AFTER L741995971 have this new focus. It appears that some here have new ELs with the faster focus and my question is "Does Swarovski have the redesigned focus availabe in the U.S.?"
