The EL 12x50 WB Green is a powerful pair of binoculars for the discerning, looking for higher magnification without renouncing light penetration and contrast.
Compared to the previous model, the following improvements have been made:
The diopter adjustment can now be locked by turning the "lid" to the focusing wheel
The eyepiece cover has a new design in semi-hard rubber
The lens caps have a new design and are integrated with the rubber reinforcement on the scope's lens. They are simply stuck there and you get rid of the old ring around the lens. If you don't want them there, you can loosen them and attach a "dummy" that covers the bracket, a steel wire embedded in the rubber reinforcement.
The strap mount and strap are brand new. The strap is now a polyester cord that is attached to the binoculars using a secure pin and loop, which locks into the binocular housing. This has meant that the stepless adjustment of the string length has a new design in the form of a knob instead of the old locking lever.
Otherwise, the optics in these Swarovski top models are unchanged. This means fluorite-containing glass of HD quality which, in combination with the brand's recognized good lens treatments Swarobright, Swarotop, Swarodur and Swaroclean coatings, provides a very color-neutral, high-contrast image that works in all light and weather. Swaroclean is a so-called nanocoating that repels dirt and water and thus facilitates use in bad weather as well as maintenance and cleaning. Distortion-free (straight drawing) image is obtained with an extra lens element. This means absolute edge sharpness without warping of the image at the outer edges. Overpressure in the form of nitrogen gas gives the completely cast magnesium housing such a good resistance to penetrating dirt and water that Swarovski guarantees tightness down to a depth of four meters. Included is an ergonomic neoprene strap with unique quick adjustment function. The bag is top-loaded, has only one compartment and cannot be used as a stomach bag. Eyepiece protection and field-specific lens caps in rubber are included, as well as a microfiber cleaning cloth.
