Swarovski EL50 Swarovision binoculars Field Test

The new EL50 Swarovision binoculars by Swarovski Optik will appear in stores at the beginning of April 2011.

As birders, we use binoculars to get closer to birds, to see details we could normally not with the naked eye. And so the challenge was set: how could one possibly build a binocular that had even better detail recognition than our revolutionary Swarovski EL42 Swarovision binoculars?

The result was the EL50 Swarovision binoculars:
Swarovision technology delivering unrivalled image perfection (perfectly sharp image right to the edges; 100% wide angle field of view for eye-glass wearers; the latest coating technology designed specifically for each individual lens surface for high transmission and perfect colour rendition; and an optical system designed around high contrast and low chromatic aberration -- incl. HD objective lenses).
Incredible detail recognition; be astounded by fine details (through large objective diameter and high magnification)
Ergonomics designed around allowing the birdwatcher to hold the image still (you need to try this to believe it) and to afford an almost unrivalled level of comfort when birding.

The EL50 Swarovision: Seeing is knowing. (because knowing is better than believing)
