Product Description

Swarovski Optik are renowned as innovative pioneers in the world of action optics and the new EL 42 binoculars reinforce their reputation as world leaders.

The new EL 42 range boasts the revolutionary SWAROVISION TECHNOLOGY, giving previously unequalled image quality. The combination of field flattener lenses and HD optic ensures an impressive image resolution across the entire field of view!

The image focus of the new EL 42 has never before been achieved in any binoculars. The field flattener lenses produce a virtually flat image. As a result, even the finest structures and smallest details are reproduced with razor-sharp clarity right up to the image periphery.

The fluoride-containing HD lenses minimise colour fringing (chromatic aberration) for contrast-rich images with razor-sharp outlines. As a result, significant improvements in resolution and contrast are achieved in comparison to conventional grades of glass.

The removable twist-in eyecups are individually adjustable in three stages, fully in (for spectacle wearers), snap-in intermediate and fully extended.

The enhanced coatings of the lenses and prisms, (SWARODUR, SWAROTOP, SWAROBRIGHT), in the new EL 42 range guarantee lifelike colour reproduction and outstanding image brightness for spectacular observation experiences even at dusk. The SWAROCLEAN coating, on the outer surface of the lens, ensures a non-stick effect with obvious cleaning advantage in the case of dirt such as water marks and tree resin.

The new focussing wheel, with its unique combination of hard and soft components, is particularly smooth and tolerance free making the new EL 42 a both comfortable and precise all round observation experience. Only two complete turns take you from infinity to the unrivalled close focus setting of about 1.5m! Almost immediately the new EL 42 becomes a "magnifying glass" for macro observation of the insect world.
