I was speaking to a current user of the Canon 10x42IS binoculars today who has heard that Swarovski have taken these apart with a view to producing their own version now that the patent on them has run out.
Could be exciting times ahead if Swarovski are able to shave some weight off and produce a more birder friendly version (eg rounded eye cups).
Time will tell what will come to pass. I would expect a big price hike if it comes to fruition.
