In the context of this thread, perhaps it communicates my respect for them to tell you that although I had owned the Zeiss 7x42 BGATP for several years, when the EL was released I was so impressed I bought one, and they were my primary open-country bins (focus was too slow for forest and close-in birding) for many years. So they felt more like a step sideways than a step up. I still like them very much in every respect except focus speed.--AP</blockquote>
