Here is good article comparing the two with the Nikon 8x32 SE again kicking the butt of the $1500.00 Swarovski EL. I really like this statement:"On carefully looking through both glasses, the Nikons did resolve one scale further down the chart than the EL's, which were able to read the separations on the 1 millimetre lines at thirty metres. This merely establishes what is already well known, porroprism binos, all else being equal, will have better resolution than roofprism every time.Here is the link to the review:<a href="http://www.chuckhawks.com/swarovski_EL8x32.htm" target="_blank">http://www.chuckhawks.com/swarovski_EL8x32.htm</a>Dennis</blockquote>
