Does anyone have any direct experience with these two binos? I’ve narrowed my Swaro option down to EL 8x32, but I can’t find a place in Minnesota that has the Zeiss 8x32s in stock.
From what I can tell based off YouTube vids and my demo of the EL here’s my pro/con list of Swaro/Zeiss:
EL Pros: Ergonomics are fantastic; feels built for my hand. I was torn between 8.5x42 and these, but the 42s are pretty big and the thumb indent is too far down the barrel in my opinion. I couldn’t tell a difference in 8 vs 8.5.
Compact, weight, and feel won me over.
EL Cons: I couldn’t find any.
Based off Zeiss 8x32 pictures and videos:
Pros: on paper it appears to be “better” than Swaro.
Cons: Ugly. Not a fan of the objective caps being one piece. Looks cheap.
Can someone enlighten me with their opinion on both of these binos?
