    Swarovski NL Pure 8x32 vs CL Companion 8x30

    Thanks for your thoughts, I've read a number of reviews that says how the NL/EL are a class above the CLs, but seems unfair to compare 30s to 32s. The small size is really what draws me to the CL, so easy to take it everywhere.

    Yes Field Pro or FP is the new strap attachment system that replaces the classic metal loop that everyone is used to. I've seen them called lugs and FP for short.

    Swarovski NL Pure 8x32 vs CL Companion 8x30

    I think I read something about the first gen did not have Swarovision (SV), and then they added it. The field pro should be the same as the SV version, but with the newer style of (annoying) lugs. There may be more to it, but that's the simple version afaik. Someone here probably knows the dates...

    Thanks for the pics, really helps to put them in perspective regarding the different sizes. I'd expect the CL to have tradeoffs vs the full sizes, but sounds like it performs well for a compact.

    Right, I'm interested in your own opinion since you have them. I can always form my own if I ever get to try both. Also, I'm now curious as to the size difference of the 8x42, 8x32, and 8x30 in case you happen to have all 3 handy. :)

    Perfect, thank you! More of a difference than I expected too. Now I have to ask, what do you think about the CL image quality compared to the NL?

    Swarovski NL Pure 8x32 vs CL Companion 8x30

    Hi, I have a quick question. I'm looking for a real-life photo of an NL Pure 8x32 next to a CL Companion 8x30. I'm just trying to understand the actual size differences between the 2. If anyone has access to both models and can post a side-by-side photo, I would appreciate it. Here is an...
