Lucafu1 Report post Posted January 16, 2018 Who uses them? Any comparisons to the 8.5x42 EL version? I really want a lighter binocular. These seem like they would work good. I have had a couple of 8x30 SLC and they were just too small for my hand. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzRincon Report post Posted January 16, 2018 The 8x32 EL's are a great optic for archery and back pack hunting. Very light weight, great field of view, super bright! When archery hunting I don't need to reach out with more magnification. They are part of my optics kit which include Swaro 10x42, 15x56 and Kowa spotter TSN 770 (best bang for the buck) You won't be sorry to add these to you quiver! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Titanium700 Report post Posted January 18, 2018 I use mine in conjunction with my 15x56s. They are always on my harness and my 15s in my backpack until I sit to glass. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n2horns Report post Posted January 19, 2018 The 8's would be good for on the chest. I use 10x42 els on the chest and 10x56 slc on tripod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hoghntr Report post Posted January 19, 2018 Love my old slc 8x30! I walked into outdoorsman 1 day last year and looked thru I believe the 8.5x42el and after about a minute had to drop them and run out of store in fear that divorce would be imminent!!!! Absolutely amazing glass. 8x32 would be awesome also. Ya can't go wrong with any Swaro 8's on chest the field of view is 👍👍👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucafu1 Report post Posted January 19, 2018 yup I have the 8.5s and I don't want to sell them (they are awesome), but I also carry the 12s and wish I had a lighter bino on my neck sometimes. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
