The latest expensive bins from Japan Incorporated are the new Bushnell Elite 8x43 and 10x43. (Bushnell failed to renew their 30-year license of the Bausch & Lomb name, which they devalued to the point of uselessness by placing it on mediocre products.) The new Elites appear to be alternative-branded versions of the cheaper Pentax DCP SP binoculars. They look superficially like Swaro ELs, are extremely light (only 23/24 oz) thanks to a magnesium chassis, and offer very long eye relief (17.3/19.4mm). Close focus (9 feet) is too long by current industry standards and considerably longer than on the former B&L Elites or the similar Pentax bins. The main reason for interest in the new Elites, which are much less expensive than the top German bins, is that they can be returned for a full refund within a year of purchase.
