Swarovski vs. Leica

IME Swarovski is the finest glass that I have ever peered thru, but there is really nothing wrong at all with a pair of Leica's. It is very hard to go wrong with either.
 
I was in the same boat and went with the Swarovski EL's. Whatever you do, test them out in various light situations at all kinds of different distances. I was at the local store testing them out for quite awhile before I decided that I liked the clarity and crispness of the EL's over the Leica's. You can't go wrong either way, they're both top of the line glass.
 
Both quality glass, which is obviously hugely important. But glass aside, make sure to consider how they feel in your hands and against your eyes, ease of focusing, weight, diopter adjustments etc. I did and went with the EL's. Your mileage may vary...but I couldn't be happier...
 
I have Swaro SLC 10x42 and absolutely love them, but if I were to buy another pair it would be the Leica's with the built in rangefinder, eliminates one more thing to carry around my neck.

Let me know if you want to get rid of the 10x42's!

+1! Best money I ever spent!
 
Hopefully by this time next year I will have the Leicas with the built in rangefinder. I have looked thru a few pair and they are amazing.
 
Me, personally I would own a pair of 8.5x42 EL's in a hearbeat.

Having said that, my personal binos are Leica Duovids and I am so happy with them I cant even describe.
 
Swaros hands down. I have a 6 x 18 x 50 Swarovski Scope on my coyote rifle 22-250 and it is the best scope I've ever owned. My buddy has a pair of the EL's and I look thru them all the time. Can't be beat in my opinion. Leicas are pretty good also.
 
I have the 8.5 X 42 EL and absolutely love them

My son has a set of SLC bino's


I have 4 Swaro scopes too

I really like the Swaro products however, I liked the Leica rangefinder better than the Swarovski due to it's compact size vs Swaro
