Message: <blockquote data-quote="PeterPS" data-source="post: 3298352" data-attributes="member: 124043">People on the BF were excited about the weight reduction in the specs of the 42mm EL---how was that possible? (as there has been no change in the optics, and the specs for the new 32mm EL list a larger weight). I thought that maybe the change of the rubber armor was the reason for the smaller weight---but no, there is no real weight reduction.Of course the 50g weight increase is not an important issue, but "under-estimating" it in the specs is a bit strange---I am sure Swaro will correct the specs if somebody will let them know (I emailed them about another wrong parameter some time ago, and they corrected the specs the next day!---they really are a company with a fantastic customer service). Finally, regarding the "cosmetic" changes of the new EL, personally I prefer the old Swarovision model, but I am sure that some will disagree.Peter.</blockquote>
