When your optics are how you earn your living, the EL 10x42 is the standard by which all other binoculars are measured. In the hands or on a tripod this is the all around, go-to glass. With Swarovision, the EL series offers edge to edge clarity that is simply incredible, when you spend a day behind a pair of ELs you will be blown away to find an image that is so crisp, clear, and comfortable that you feel as if you aren't looking through binoculars at all.
