    A Field Review of NL 8x32

    Brilliant! Thanks a lot. I looked up two short articles on them before and they didn't even say if they were rubber or hard plastic. I was wondering if they were flexible. Now I know. I'm glad they are. It makes them more versatile; and they're Swarovski's own, which will be good for the...

    A Field Review of NL 8x32

    Thanks for this. They look good. How did you get the curved eye-cups on? Do they stretch and slip over the main eye-cups? Or do you have to remove the main eye-cups first

    No glasses needed with 10x42 NL

    Thanks very much. That's very helpful. I didn't know there was any. I just looked them up now. Do they just slip on or replace the existing eye-piece?

    No glasses needed with 10x42 NL

    I sometimes take my glasses off in the hide. I'm not too bad without them anyway. Always need them for driving tho.

    No glasses needed with 10x42 NL

    Are there any good glare guards you can attach to the Pure eye-cups?

    Swarovski NL 8x42 vs Carl Zeiss Victory SF 8x42

    Yes Any new thread on this comparison? This one is from two years ago. Came here via Google. Sorry, not been on here in years. I can start a new thread if necessary. I'm thinking of getting the Swarovski NL Pure 8x42s, but they cost a bit more than the Zeiss Victory SF 8x42s. They're...

    swarovski 8x32 vs 8.5x42

    Thanks. The reported blurring at the edge on the 8x32 tgen is negligible, or even a one off. They are still good in any case. I might be able to get a pair for £1200 new, opened package tho. Sandy coloured EL 8x32 one. The person came back to the shop for the green 8.5x42 instead. The 8x32...

    swarovski 8x32 vs 8.5x42

    Update on my original reply on here last year - The eye relief on the Swarovski EL 8x32 is supposed to be excellent and they did seem to be one of the best (possibly 'the' best) for EF when I tried them (at least from the many that I tried, which included Zeiss SF and Leica, which had some...

    Coul Links, Embo under threat - RSPB petition

    I'm following this on FB. I hope Scotland does the right thing this time. It should be a protected site for a number of reasons, one being a rare type of coastal habitat.

    Review of 8x25 Victory Pocket

    Excellent review, replies and comments. Glad to know that they are light and are actually on par with the 8x32 Fls, in at least some important respects. That is a thousand pounds savings right there!

    Review of 8x25 Victory Pocket

    I'm finding conflicting info on Google for the full dimension comparison between the 8x20 and the 8x25 for both folded and unfolded states. Zeiss website is lacking in info.

    Coul Links, Embo under threat - RSPB petition

    Football?! - there are no such facilities, it's a wild area and somewhat remote. Looks like Warnock (developer) is getting desperate. He also said that the ecology will be improved and I commented on his fb page that he doesn't know what ecology means. And he went back on his word that he would...
