Opinions on upgrading my 8x30 WB Swarovski

[Rudymissouri]

Have a pair of 8x30 Swarovski I got 20 plus years ago. I was thinking about getting pair of Zeiss conquest had 10x42. I know it’s not really comparing apples to apples. Curious if the conquest would be better as far as clarity and magnification. Thanks for any opinions

I have a set of Zeiss Conquest Binos and Swaro SLC. There is no way the Conquest compares to my Swaro’s. If I am whitetail hunting and only glassing short distances especially during archery season I use the lighter Zeiss. All other times the SLC’s are on my chest.

My dad has a similar vintage of 8x30 SLC and they hold up really well against the latest SLC 10x42 after a week side by side with both. At best it would be a lateral move to conquest 10x42 if not a slight downgrade.

Send your Swarovski’s back for factory service during the offseason and they will come back like new.
