This is the first bino ever to offer it. While I must admit that one only notices it after being told (after all, most of us do look through the middle of the field, don't we ) it remains an impressive technical improvement showing how advanced the Swaro technology is) ;- both objective and ocular lenses are flat and the latter is noticeably larger than before.As to colour, the Swarovski green seems to have established itself and is there to stay...About retail price, hem..., about 2500 € (3924 USD)”  And:“the only difference I noticed between old and new EL's was the larger size of the ocular lens (nearly twice as large) and that all lenses front and back were flat.”I can’t picture the ocular lens being almost twice as large as the current ones.  Do you think this is this need to create the sharpness that is described?   Unfortunately I can picture $3900+ price tag.</blockquote>
