A Field Review of NL 8x32 (3 Viewers)

Regarding the rainguard. I highly recommend getting Swaros winged eyecups and purpose-built rainguard. Easy on and off, no fuss, and less stray light behind the oculars. And, if you don't like losing your peripheral vision completely, or like me find that in the coldest weather your eyes fog the oculars without some ventilation, you can slide the winged eyecups down and their apex extends just proud of the bin eyecups and fixes all issues.

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

Simple research on YT, buddy ! Here :

(Same procedure for NL's models 32 and 42)

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 warranty. Swarovski accessories can be expensive, but good quality tho.
The strap on tripod gripper is probably pricey. The head rest is about £120.
The curved eye cups and matching rainguard are a decent price at just under 30 tho.
