Been looking at these binoculars, are they any good? I've heard good things about them. Do they warrant the heavy price tag?
Why am I not surprised, since the opinion is coming from someone who hasn't looked through the SV, never not once apparently.
Rolling ball...blah, blah, blah. Mustache, blah, blah, blah. Look through them and you'll see. If you don't like 'em, don't buy 'em. Case closed.

Click on the Swarovski threads and in five min. a person would know all about the possible rolling ball issue in the new Swarovision, click on the Nikon LX threads and the same thing. It is no secret for sure. It just keeps rolling,rolling ,rolling,rolling keep them balls a rolling rollhide.

the swarovision are very good binoculairs but like everthing else they are a marketing product, about the swarovision el 50mm they say ; wow you can handhold these without any problem , never seen before !!! ..........The leica 10x50 weighs only 5 grams more !! so what is the differents , when you can handhold a swarovision (995 grams) you can also handhold a leica (1000grams) .
It' all about balance. Have you tried the 50mm Swarovision's? I couldn't believe how light they feel because the balance point is perfect making them feel like a 42mm.
Just because YOU don't see it, that's no reason to hide that fact from a potential buyer looking for honest information or diss me for pointing it out. Why you insist on continuing to do this makes me suspicious about your motivations and your ability to give an a fair and balanced opinion, so I'm ignoring your posts from now on.

Don't worry, fosco - great binoculars stir up emotions, and can lead to handbag-fights. (It's a lot worse on bicycle forums, and apparently philately forums are the most savage).woops! Sorry for opening this can of worms.. I suppose a lot of it boils down to how they handle. I tried the swaro's and they seem great. So i should probably go on instinct. Also these look a great price!!
