Swarovski NL Pure 12×42 Review

[@BlueTJay]

Nice, love my S21 Sumsung phone, this bino is really a game changer! Lately I have taken a huge interest in Svarowski optics, thanks for the demo!

Good honest review of an amazing product I have a Swaro z3 scope on my 30-06 and if the bino glass is as good as that they will be brilliant in the Bush stalking sambar- well done Reg

Thanks Reg. Interesting piece of kit. It would be great on the spotting scope. I'd be keen to hear more about your main camera set-up, settings etc. Cheers.

Hi Stubob, yeah it would be interesting to see how a particular adapter works with the Swaro Spotting Scope? You got to change the setup to be able to fit a DSLR camera. Over longer distances you with get a certain amount of atmospheric distortion with any optical device, but probably not too much with the quality optics.😉👍

Great work thanks Reg

Want so badly but can’t afford this bino. After looking thru it and comparing I can’t look thru anything else now.

Hi M, the review is based on honesty and integrity. Totally understand your situation to the affordability. We have tried and gone through many pairs of binoculars over the years. I actually own a pair of Leica binoculars now that are excellent optics but not as good as the NL Pure Swarovski optics . The only advice I can give you is! How serious are you about your hunting? Do you want serious glass that going to last you a very long time and the company will back up their warranty? Long jeopardy Swarovski are fantastic optics that will last you a very long time. These are the things you may ponder when you purchase your binoculars???

@@reggordon4982 Thanks. Yup I get it. I am looking at slightly lower offerings by meopta and comparing them soon but if not then I guess I will use my steiners a bit longer and save up maybe next year. I’m using 10x I want an 8 and. 12 or 15x …. The meostar b1 plus hd sound promising, though not as small and versatile and ergonomic as the swaros for sure. One thing I’m not crazy about w the nl I found was the focus wheel was a bit too loose for my personal taste along w the diopter I prefer something firmer . I’ve read some owners complaining about the NL body coating getting damaged in hot weather and some having issues w fogging. I guess you have not encountered that? Thanks!

Hi M, yeah I do remember having a pair of Bushnell auto focus binoculars that lasted me about 12 months. They were cheap and nasty! Contrary to the focus ring being too loss? I found the NL Pure Swarovski focus ring fantastic. More linished and great for focusing on deer to fine tune clarity on the subject you focusing on. Yes my Leica duovids are stiff and hard to focus now and annoys me. But they 15 years old and had them serviced 3 years ago. I would be concerned with any binocular that has a stiff and hard.focus ring 🙄

@@reggordon4982 hi. Interesting. I’m used to Steiner which have stuff focus maybe I’m biased it makes think it’s more solid or will hold its place. Any experince w meopta? Lots of good reviews online but hard to find in person to look at.

[@reggordon4982]

No worries M, I was pleasantly surprised how good the NL Pure Swarovski binoculars were! I have hunting mates that own Swarovski binoculars. Mainly the ELs and they want to upgrade their Swarovski to the NLs. I totally understand your situation that you want the best quality optics at a reasonable price!!! Swarovski, Leica and Zeiss are arguably the best optics going around. I have a second hand pair of Leica Duovids up for sale☺👍
