Visited a main dealer recently and overheard an interesting trade-in deal being struck.
The customer had a pre-SV EL 8.5x which he 'never used', presumably because there was something about it that he didn't like, and he was trading it in as part of a deal to buy two replacement Swaros.
Not Swarovisions but Habichts 8x30 & 10x40. Clearly he didn't mind swimming against the mainstream which greatly favours roof prism binos. But what struck me was that he found the original EL so objectionable despite it being such a lovely and inoffensive model, and it didn't sound as though the unit had any focus mechanism issues either.
Just another example of how varied are the tastes and preferences of bino users.
