Got to open them yesterday, as they are a birthday present. These were to replace my Hawke Endurance ED 8x25.
This was only a quick comparison in my garden, just in case I wanted to return the CL's.
First impression, they are nicely made and focused very smoothly. The image seemed nice and sharp and bright, so quite impressed so far.
I then tried my Hawke's, and to be honest, I was surprised how well they compared, the Swaros were a bit sharper, but not much, and a little brighter, but again not by much.
Not sure what I was expecting, but thought the Swaro's would be head and shoulders superior to the Hawke's, but to my eyes, they were only slightly better.
Seeing the Swaro's are over four times the cost of the Hawke's, I was expecting a bigger difference. I shall be returning them.
