    Duovid Optical Construction

    The differents in Image was due the Apochromatic element in the Ultravid eyepiece, some perceive as blue depending on your eyes. Lovely pictures of 2 Beauty's Cheers Tim

    Duovid Optical Construction

    Thanks for this John. Love my Duovids. The only thing which is slightly annoying is the CA at 12x and the narrow fov at 8x. I wish Leica had done a Magnesium bodied Duovid with HD Glass and a slightly wider fov if that could have been possible... Cheers Tim The Duovid 8-12x42 is still...

    I've tested them together. Obviously the Swarovski is better but the Duovids did perform better than expected.. Cheers Tim

    Swarovski Giant Binoculars vs BTX

    Just a question to the Forum. If Swarovski decided to do a range of Giant Binoculars with "Swarovision technology" would anyone be interested in purchasing them, or would you prefer the current BTX system with changable objectives ? Personally I'd love a pair of 20x80 or 25x100 NL's 😋😋😋...

    The ATX STX is over 10 years old now so I imagine it's only a matter of time before a new version is released Cheers Tim

    Interesting that they would make a smart binocular, when the DG monocular version wasn't a great seller ... Cheers Tim

    Swarovski NL 8x32 vs Leica Duovid 8+12x42 Brightness Mystery

    What we"re actually talking about is the difference in brightness between a Duovid 8+12x42 which was discontinued in 2021 and a 8x32 NL which was bought in 2022. Indeed the Duovid is still available. See attached image.. Two premium class binoculars.

    Agreed....

    Swarovski NL 8x32 vs Leica Duovid 8+12x42 Brightness Mystery

    Better glass, better coatings and better transmission doesn't make a premium 32mm binocular out perform a premium 42mm.... A 42mm collects 75% more light than a 32mm objective.. It's called mathematics. Maybe you need to go back to School and also learn some manners whilst your at it...

    Swarovski prices going up 7%?

    So a new 8x32 NL will now cost ÂŖ2350.00 And a 12x42 NL the best part of 3 Grand.... This prices are crazy... Cheers Tim

    Swarovski NL 8x32 vs Leica Duovid 8+12x42 Brightness Mystery

    Thanks John.... But I tested a pair of 10x42 NL vs my 8x32 NL last night and even without my eyes being night adapted the 42 blew the 32 out of the water.... Just doesn't make sense ☚ī¸

    Swarovski NL 8x32 vs Leica Duovid 8+12x42 Brightness Mystery

    But how is possible that a 32 can outperform a 42 mm... Looking into the shadows is better in the 32 which doesn't make sense... Cheers Tim

    Swarovski NL 8x32 vs Leica Duovid 8+12x42 Brightness Mystery

    Gijs said the transmission of the Duovid was around 80% overall if you take the mean value... NL transmission has around 92 % apparently... The difference is noticable...Wish you could see for yourself... I'll test again when my eyes have been fully dilated plus with a bigger camera ...

    Swarovski NL 8x32 vs Leica Duovid 8+12x42 Brightness Mystery

    Thanks for your reply... So your saying its my pupil size. That doesn't make sense because my 10x42 EL used to be brighter at night than my 8x32 NL ? A 42mm objective collects 75% more light than a 32mm. Even with the increased transmission rate of the NL the Duovid should be brighter.. I'll...

    Swarovski NL 8x32 vs Leica Duovid 8+12x42 Brightness Mystery

    Thanks Henry ... I'll do that ....Only problem is that what you see on those images is exactly what I see through my eyes .... I've been doing this a long time my friend. I'll try a larger imaging source but I doubt it will make any difference... Plus I'll try what you suggested Thanks for...
