I am comparing the El 32 with the 42 since a few days and can't for the life of me see a difference that justifies the bigger glas.Sure there is a difference but so tiny it's not even worth talking about.When the sun went down and it got darker I could not see more with the 42, all details are gone anyway till both binoculars gave me a good run focusing something. If one does not know for sure if let's say a tree is in focus because the light is gone how do they pick a deer ?</blockquote>
