Hello this is my first post.
I am thinking about upgrading my bins from My £150 Opticron Imagics to something more top end. I have a Swarovski ATS65HD scope that I am very happy with so thought I would go for Swarovski bins; the 8.5 X 42 El.
There seems to be a bit of bad press on these on the forum so seen as I'm spending the sort of money they cost I want a top pair of bins. Should I be considering something else like Leica?
Thanks for your time.
Swarowski, Leica and Zeiss are a personal preference. If you feel they cost too much, there are a few options these days.
If I were to spend over $1000 on a pair, I would go for the lightest 8x32 with the best eye relief etc. The 8,5x is really much the same as 8x.

Thanks for the reply, just wondering why you would go for 8x32 over 8x42?
