The Swarovski CL 8x30 was the first alpha I bought this year. I tried a lot of different non-alpha binoculars which didn't work for me mostly because they had too much eye relief so I was happy when the CL's eye relief worked for me. ................................................

Dennis,
This is confusing. If you mean the Swarovski CL 8x30 B wouldn't that have been the
last alpha you bought last year instead of the 1st alpha you bought this year?
Unless you bought another one today?
Or did you mean that the 1st alpha you bought last year was a Swarovski CL 8x30 Companion? Which is a pretty good binocular that I have used a lot but it isn't an alpha.
Anyway, Happy New Year!:t::king:
