Swarovski EL 8.5x42 Product description

This All-round lightweight EL model made in Austria offers impressive luminosity and lifelike colors due to advanced optical technology and innovations. They are suitable for wide varieties of outdoor activities such as hunting, bird watching, sports, safari and traveling during daytime. Excellent optics and ergonomic design never stops to amaze. Very unique fully multi-coatings on High Definition anti-reflective coatings Swardur, Swartop and Swarobright increases luminosity, high contrast transfer and color fidelity for very bright and colorful images. EL also offers very unique flat field design that eliminates curvature and provides razor-sharp images free of edge effects. Crystal clear images with stunning close focus for macro observations and wider field of view that helps you to follow moving objects will help you in dynamic situations but you can also mount them to a tripod for less shaky images. This Swarovision is also equipped with snap shot camera adapter and new rotating strap connector that adjusts to any movements you make in the wildlife and significally eases the portability. Lightweight aluminum body and open-bridge design together with rugged rubber armor for secure grip are the results of outstanding ergonomic design providing very balanced and comfortable feel in hands. EL is impervious to water and corrosion and internal fogging will never be an issue due to nitrogen gas purged construction, and you can also use them to a water depth of 4 meters.

 

Short description of Swarovski EL Binoculars

Swarovski Optik offers one of the best binoculars we’ve seen yet. EL series  provides the best optical performance, due to revolutionary optical innovations. Fluoride containing HD lens and fully anti-reflective multi-coatings (Swarobright, Swarotop and Swarodur) on all lenses and prisms gives these high-end binoculars with very bright and colorful images without flare, aberrations and inner reflection. Stunning images with surreal clarity have wide field of view to easily track moving objects and stunning close focus ideal for macro observations. EL binoculars have central focus wheel and diopter for adjusting the focus and soft removable eyecups provides proper eye-relief for glass wearers. The lightweight aluminum body is well balanced and provides a secure grip with the help of open-bridge. When it comes to protection sealed nitrogen gas purging makes them impervious to water and internal fogging and resistant to corrosion. With Swaroclean coatings on external lenses, wiping away the moisture and other solid particles was never easier. 3rd generation of EL series is not only tripod adaptable but also includes snap shot camera adapter and new rotating strap connector adapting to every movement when enjoying the great outdoors.

My binoculars were focusing fine. But now they won’t. Help. They are under a month old.

by Thea

If the focusing is not working properly, we would strongly advise you to contact your seller and ask them to send the product for repairs directly at Swarovski.

I bought my Swarovski 8 x 42 binocs approximately 2009. Yesterday I discovered the diopter isn't working. The knob pulls out and moves back and forth as normal, with the usual clicks. Resistance in movement feels normal. However, it no longer changes the focus for the left eye. Help!

by M A

In this case, we would strongly recommend contacting your supplier so they can send your Swarovski for repair services. In case you have trouble in this regard, you can also contact us at info@optics-trade.eu for further assistance in this regard.
