Swarovski El Pro 8.5X42 Wb Binoculars With Swarovision
Swarovski have long been associated with superior long range optic technology, offering outstanding sharpness, contrast and superb colour fidelity. And they continue to break the boundaries of what is possible with Swarovski EL Pro 8.5 x 42 binoculars, offering 8 times magnification and a 42mm lens diameter. They are extremely accurate, versatile and are perfect for a variety of activities right up to when the light starts to fade. Whether your favourite activity is birdwatching, hunting, hillwalking or if you like to appreciate the finer details amid your surroundings on a gentle country walk, their compact design and optical performance transforms an average day into a memorable one.
In terms of performance, they certainly enhance the smallest details in clear, sharp focus, even in the poorest of viewing conditions, however the beauty is in their easy of use and ergonomic design. Wearing a pair of EL Pro will not restrict movement and using them over long periods will not cause fatigue because they are built for comfort and clarity. Their renowned classic design has been enhanced even further to reduce weight to only 895g.
The EL Pro marks a significant milestone in long-rang optics, with the EL benefiting from intensive research and development, the result of which is Swarovision technology. Swarovision, with its unique optical values, supports high magnification and shows you the crucial details when you are observing over long distances. For example Swarovision offer field flattener lenses which produce a virtually flat image, therefore creating perfect edge to edge image sharpness. The HD optics reduce colour fringing which creates maximum colour contrast while optimised coatings (SWAROTOP, SWAROBRIGHT, SWARODUR, SWAROCLEAN) make for true-to-life, brighter images.
El Pro Magnification and Performance
El 42 Swarovision binoculars offer an impressive unrestricted wide angle field of 137m and a field of view for eye glasses wearers of 7.8 degrees. And thanks to their larger exit pupil distance, glasses wearers can also enjoy the crystal-clear image quality. Even better, the twist-in eye-cups can be adapted individually to the wearers requirements in 4 stages.
El Pro have an open bridge design and wrap-around grip that are features that Swarovski users love. They offer maximum stability during observation - even with one hand - and a large, grooved focusing wheel which is very reliable and can be easily operated when wearing gloves. They also come with a carrying strap, field bag to protect them and both an eyepiece cover and objective lens cover.
Ultimately, EL Pro binoculars suit every situation, whether you are sitting in a stand at twilight or out stalking at first light. With the EL Pro 8.5 x 42 in your hands, you are holding a versatile, top-class pair of binoculars, enabling you to cope with the vast majority of the different types of hunting or outdoor activity.
