Swarovski EL 10x42 - More detail at distance, bright and sharp viewing
The Swarovski EL 10x42 is built for users who want to observe over long distances and capture crucial details. With 10x magnification, you can identify fine features faster, making it a strong choice for nature and wildlife observation in open country. High-quality optics deliver a calm, high-contrast view that remains comfortable over longer sessions.
The combination of a 42 mm objective and 90% light transmission provides a bright image in daylight and changing conditions. A 4.2 mm exit pupil supports comfortable viewing in lower light such as early morning or dusk. With a 3.3 m close focus, the EL 10x42 is also surprisingly versatile for nearer subjects. Inert gas filling and waterproofing up to 4 m make it a reliable option for tough outdoor use.
