Dear Tweeters,

Thanks for all the optics suggestions! I would welcome
any more.

So far, Swarovski 8.5 X 42 EL has four votes, B & L
Elites have two, and a host of others one each. Nikon
Superior E actually has two votes if I count a mention
that it is a BVD reference standard.

I do agree with the "go for the gusto" theory; the
Gustovians all shout, "Swarovski!--just as they once
shouted "Zeiss!"

However, the Nikons are less expensive than the
Swarovskis. So here is a question: do any Tweeters out
there have a notion as to the water- and fog-proofness
of the Nikon Superior E?

Also, how does Nikon's customer service stand up to
Swarovski's (to the chorus on the excellence of which
I can add my voice)?

Yours truly,
Gary Bletsch
PS A Peregrine zipped by my house in the pouring rain
today. Neat!
