I got this EL 8.5x42 pair in 2008, so it's 10 years old now.
Nothing really wrong with it other than I wish it had a bit more overdrive past infinity, when I use it without any vision correction hardware, the dial is at the very limit. Other than that, the optical quality is A1.
Now questions - what advances have the EL line made in the last 10 years? I understand there is a revised model and how does it differ from the 2007-2008 EL line? I've read many reviews but still don't get it. Is the post-2008 EL so breathtaking versus what I have?
I am contemplating jumping to the Zeiss 8x42 FL line circa 2014, which heavily borrows from the EL line, can someone given me an objective opinion pros/cons.
