Hi all,
 
For those in the market for Swarovski 10x42 (and 8.5x42) EL's, Swarovski have recently released an upgraded version that has faster focusing (press release on web is 17/03/2005 although I think the model may have been in Australia longer). When I researched high-end binos one of the critisms of the swaros was the slow focusing from infinity to close focus - now you have not only a very close focus but the focusing barrel turns from close to infinity is only 1.5 turns when compared to 2.5 turns previously - this would be particularly useful when birding in the bush when you need to change focus distant frequently and often quickly. Note that serial numbers beyond L741995971 have this feature.
 
Cheers
Simon.
