Cons
Grossly Overpriced

No
The Bottom Line:
Great binocs, but not worth the price. Swarovski has priced their EL's with the assumption that consumers are complete idiots.
I'll spare everyone the boring detail.
A. Yes, the Swarov EL's are outstanding binocs. Yes, the ergonomics are very good indeed. Yes, the view is remarkably clear.
B. No, they aren't worth the extortionate price.
C. For the same money you can get two Zeiss Victory binocs and you won't be disappointed with them in a side-by-side comparison to the the Swarov's.
D. The Zeiss Victorys give a better field of view.
E. I personally, would be scared to carry around the Swarov EL's. If you lost them, it would be a financial disaster.
F. If you're the type that's predisposed to pay $10,000 for a Rolex watch, then these binocs are for you.
Nothing else to say, really.
