“I have owned a pair of Swarovski EL 8.5 x42 binoculars since 2001. I opted to donate them to a friend and bird guide in Belize because he tried to save the money to buy them and due to Covid shut downs, was unable to. The only thing I would replace those binoculars with was another pair of the same. Your craftsmanship and quality are worth the price paid. The warranty and service is outstanding! I also own a birding scope and it is also fabulous!”
