Just FYI. Spent some time at the Swaro trailer at PRE. I learned that the EL range are not EL glass. Was told they are actually SLC glass. Interesting...I am curious abt this as well. I run Swaro SLC binos and a Leica 2400 rangefinder and I was debating on getting either an EL ranging Bino, SIG Kilo or the Vortex Fury 5000. I feel like there will be some solid Black Friday deals on the latter of the two. I love my SLCs but for whatI want this for, I’m thinking the EL may be slight overkill.
My understanding has been that the 3000 HD-B, 2700 HD-R, and older 2200 HD-B all have the same glass. The main difference is the rangefinder and electronics. Hopefully someone will correct me if I've misunderstood. I've been liking my 2200's, but I do wish they would connect with my Kestrel. I heard LiNK capabilities were on the horizon with future HD-B's....maybe at SHOT??Any knowledge on the forum about a new Rangefinder bino from Lecia. They are discounting the heck out of the HDb 3000. Instant $500 off before the negotiations on price. Wow!
