Gents,
Checked the previous threads and couldn't really find the answer I was looking for. I have decided to buy a secondhand pair of Swarovski binoculars - my budget will probably put me looking at binos around 6-10 years old.
I have decided I want 10 x 42 - but as to whether to get SLCs or ELs I am not sure. I have read ELs are lighter, but not by how much - other than that, what is the difference? At the age I will be looking at, are there models to go for or ones to ignore? Swarobright, WB, HD, its all a bit confusing.
I have been looking on the birding forum hoping to find a pair, but I need to know what I am looking for really before I take the plunge.
Regards,
