Just an honest question....
I am looking in a catalog, and I see a set of 8x32 Swarovski bino for .........that's right, the low low price of FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS!! Oh my....
But here's the question, and I'm being sincere as I truely don't know....There is also a set of Leupold 8x42's, and they are only $300......What makes the Swarovski THAT much better?? I've never looked through them admitedly... |
RE: Just an honest question....
They gather much more light, and you will get a brighter, more defined picture all the way out to the edges of the lenses. Shoot 3D with a medium pair of binocs, and then borrow your buddys leicas or swarovskis and look at the same difference. Now when before you could only make out half the x ring, and had to guess where the other side was..............the dark side appears with the swarovski's.
I will have a top notch pair of binocs someday, its just not in the budget now. I will likely have the spotting scope to match as well......... |
RE: Just an honest question....
from what ive heard is they use super high quality glass for the lenses, and the craftsmanship...blah, blah,...and so on.

The only way that I can explain it is that my buddy bought a pair of them and brought them over and let me look through them along side myNikons and the difference in clarity was amazing. With my budget I'll never own a pair but if I hunting out west a lot I would have to have a pair.

In fading light or looking into shjadows is where the good ones shine. I used to have a pair of 10x42 Bushnell Trophy's. Looking at some deer one evening I could see the rack on a buck out in the field with them. Then I looked with my 8x30 Swars and counted the points.
That was some years ago, back when I got my Swars for $650. But there is a marked difference between them. I gave the Trophy's away. By the way. Cabelas isn't cheap. Most of their prices are retail. |
