Swarovski EL Binoculars
Does anyone have a pair of Swarovski EL Binocs that they purchased new a few years ago. If so, I would like to know what font style was used for the markings on the Binocs. Big Dot or little dot. Thanks.

Yes I did, but I am not sure what you are talking about? Why?

22WRF, I hope I understand you correctly. I took a look at the 8.5x42 ELs I bought maybe a year after they first became available in Europe, please don't ask me exactly when that was... It is quite a few years back now.

On top of the focus wheel, the following markings are visible:

quote:
EL
8,5x42
7.4 (degree)


The "degree" is - as could be expected - denoted with a small circle. Sorry, I don't have one of those on my keyboard.

Is that what you are asking about??

At the brand new ones in my shop it is very small circle - so small I could not think that it could be made smaller !

You know that we have a 60 aniverary edition right now - so the only thing which is different is the price...

I acquired my EL's on 11/30/2001 and they show a " ° ", as witnessed by this photo.

I hope this willl answer your Q.

3 shots do not make a group, they show a point of aim or impact.
5 shots are a group.

If you're trying to prove that Cameraland is pushing older merchandise, you're wasting your time. If you want the age of something they have for sale, just ask Doug.

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.

Well, homer, I got it from this thread, where you asked about the dot size in his demo ELs for sale, a question which had nothing to do with the thread topic and which you never explained.

"dot" thread

Perhaps I mistook your intent, if so, I apologize.

Just ready to pull the trigger on purchasing a pair of 10 x 42 ELs when I find out that Swarovski is coming out with a new EL sometime soon.

Does anybody know more about them than what is on the Swarovski website?
