Thanks for taking time post the images and your comments. Really interesting and enlightening to go through them and compare. -

You sum it up perfectly. I've just spent another hour (a final one) comparing the 8x with the 10x, and am even more happy with my decision to keep the 8x. For my use, it has so many advantages, in comparison to the 10x. I've even started to love, in all situations and distances, the pretty wide... -

I suppose, for me, it means 350 - 700 UK pounds. I briefly tried the SFL 8x30 -

Thank you. I hadn't thought of pre-owned EL. Something I can consider. I'll look into Trinovid HD and Kowa later this week. fov not important, I was just going to get a 10x bin purely for use at home where there are distant views and on occasion a 10x may be handy for spotting far away birds. -

I probably won't get a chance - at least not over the next month or two - to try any 12x42 NL Pures. I did briefly quickly try the 8x42 a few months ago, and aside from anything else, such as fov, they were a little to heavy for me - though I'd possibly get used to that. Do you own the 12x42 NL? -

While I'm on this topic of comparing 10x with 8x, can anyone recommend a good lowish to mid-priced 10x binocular. 32 or 42. Flat or flattish view an advantage, but not of course necessary. Just to be awkward, I've never really liked Zeiss (sorry). I've borrowed a pair in the past, and tried a... -

Just reporting back to say that I got hold of the NL Pure 10x32, as I said I would - so that I could compare it with the NL Pure 8x32 which I already had (still within the return period). I treat them with great care, so don't feel too bad trying them at home. As I say above, I wanted to try the... -

I can't tell you how useful your and several previous replies have been for me. Really helps me think this through. Everything you say hits home with me, with weighing things up. I still have the option of returning the NL Pure 8x32s, as I've taken great care with them, and the retailer is... -

All good points, which have given me food for thought, thanks. I can certainly see how some would feel that narrower FOV focuses attention. I hadn't thought of it quite in that way. 'more natural' - I should have said more like what I'm used to, because, if anything the NL Pures have a strong... -

That's a good way of putting it. They really are superb. -

Though I'm only a rank amateur, I decided to buy these binoculars. I know a little bit about optics, but have relatively little experience compared with many here. Hopefully the following won't sound too odd. Pleased I bought them. The build quality and image are stunning. A stark contrast to...
