How do they compare with other 7x42 binoculars out there??? I heard the 7x42 FL is awesome as is the ultravid but they both cost more..

WELL, I AM NOT A BIRDER BUT A HUNTER. I want a large sweet spot, bright, and a large FOV. I also need flare control, I dont want stray light at twilight preventing me from seeing what I need to see... These seem the same as the El's minus the magnesium and different bridge design... these have all the same coatings but are made of aluminum... Whats not to like about these???

There aren't too many of these around any more. Leica, Zeiss and Swarovski have them. They are all heavy, very expensive and optically superb. Check www.eagleoptics.com to review their specs and prices. I have the now discontinued Leica 7 x 42 BN Trinovid which has since been replaced by the Ultravid model. It's a great binocular which has all the attributes you are looking for, and is tough as nails, but I don't think you will like lugging it around all day with along with a rifle and scope.
