    Swarovski sellers dilusional?

    In an effort to bring the topic back on track I found a seller that has a very realistic grasp on pricing ;)

    NL 10x32 Snapshot Adapter

    Nobody tried the old EL adapter on the NL? Any suggestions then for an alternative method that doesn't rely on the i-phone?

    NL 10x32 Snapshot Adapter

    Can anyone advise if there is a snapshot adapter for the NL 10x32 please?

    What did you see in your binoculars today?

    Whilst on a walk in the lakes on Thursday I saw (in order) Red Squirrel, Roe Deer, Wheatear, Red Deer, Peregrine stooping at pigeons, young dipper being fed by Mother, Ringed Plover all within a ten mile walk in Ullswater.

    What did you see in your binoculars today?

    An epic battle between two squirrels that ended up with one of them falling into the lake. The sodden squirrel resembled a rat when he made land. A lovely way to christen my NL's.

    If you could have only ONE binocular ? (no list).

    EL 10 x 32. A wow a day!

    Giant Binoculars at Caerlaverock

    The times I have gone up the tower and looked through those. I'd stick with my EL 10 x 32's though

    Did changing to a lighter 32mm over 42mm bino really make that much difference?

    At Christmas I purchased some new EL10x42 already having the EL10x32. I still haven't taken the 10x42 out of the box, the 32 is the bino of choice every time. So comfortable, light and ergonomically superior to the 42's.

    Frontier Ed x issues?

    Yes, this is what it looks like

    Frontier Ed x issues?

    My warranty replacement pair of EL's came with the draw-string bag last week. I wouldn't use that for my tent pegs. A few days later they sent me the wild-nature bag that I had purchased with the original ones. I keep watching ebay for a pair of Frontiers to keep in the car.

    Frontier Ed x issues?

    I had the 10x 32 and 10 x 42 ED-X. Very impressive optics and excellent value for money and mechanically just superb. I understand there's now a no quibble warranty too. Are my EL's £1300 better, no chance.

    Swarovski are sending me a replacement case. Very easy resolution, all is well.

    Warranty Turn-around time

    I will see what Swarovski's response is to the email I sent yesterday. I hadn't given it much thought as I won't use a case but when I see they cost £50 I felt a bit short-changed. I'll report back when they respond. The chap at Ace felt a bit awkward when he explained the case wasn't included...

    But I already paid for a case with the original binoculars. This pair is a replacement for a faulty pair.

    Warranty Turn-around time

    I think it's cotton and wafer thin ,eyepiece covers in shot to give scale. It won't offer any protection in the event of a knock that's for sure. I have emailed Swarovski and made my case for a replacement (see what I did there).

    Warranty Turn-around time

    Yes, sent back exactly as they arrived. I am not too precious about using the green case but looking on their website that's a £50 bag that I paid for and now don't have. Here's a photo of the new packaging/arrangement.
  18. Veracocha

    Warranty Turn-around time

    Yes, just a draw string bag. The whole arrangement is different to the one I purchased three weeks ago. The bins are set in a cardboard recess in the shape of the bins and the bag is separate in the compartment. Not an issue as I use a chest pack but unusual considering all my El's arrived with...

    Excellent service, arrived today and just brilliant as optics A change to the packaging format, slimmer box with a draw-string bag rather than the green case??

    Warranty Turn-around time

    Well the wonderful chap at ACE Optics called me today to say there's a new pair on their way to me as they have just had new stock delivered. Very good service indeed, I hope the replacements are just as good.

    Warranty Turn-around time

    Cheers for that. I have the 10 x 32 EL's so no need for a loan pair. I really want these ones fixed as they are as good optically as my 10 x 32.

    Warranty Turn-around time

    Less than three weeks from new my EL 10 x 42's have developed a fault on their first outing; the dioptre wheel will will not lock into place. The brilliant Ace Optics have arranged collection from my home on Monday (within an hour of emailing them) but what is the expected turn-around time if...

    NL Pure 8x42 eyepiece lens edge issue. Is this common?

    I could live with the slight imperfections on the rim of the lens but now on my first outing I discover the dioptre mechanism won't lock. Expected more from Swaro on a quality level.

    NL Pure 8x42 eyepiece lens edge issue. Is this common?

    Hmm! Now wishing I hadn't read this thread. I bought two new EL's Christmas Eve and just put them both under the magnifying glass to see what gives. My 10x32 are perfect in the area's shewn in the OP. However my 10x42 have three instances exactly like the OP in one lens, on the very outermost...
