That's the one - what a beauty! And a great tripod, too.
That’s a good point thanks, I need to hear that otherwise I get obsessed with buying another pair 🤦♂️
It’s black tea with blueberries and blue mallow. The bowl is made out from birch burl by a local guy. I can say that it’s taste very good and a feel of peacefulness is flowing into the body when drinking from the bowl.
This year I walked with my 8 and 12 years kids so we took a short route of totally 23km in two and half days. The hike 10 years ago I walked alone and made somewhere between 75-85km in 3 and half days. I also come there with fatbike 5 years ago. Those mountains is located in the middle west of Sweden. Pictures is taken approximately 900 meters above sea level.
Absolutely lovely..... but I can't see a Habicht anywhere😄View attachment 1525346
EL 10x50, SLC 8x42 and NL Pure 10x32.
I was waiting for chill6x6, but this topic just didn't show up.
Besides these swaros I think I will ad an Habicht and a pocket as well in the future. And maybe a SLC 15x56.
Thanks!
You already have a very nice selection of binoculars! A lightweight 8x32, a pocket 7x21, a 8x42 for the most pleasant views and really nice for dim light and a 12x42 for longer distances!
I think House of Outdoors has the most Habichts in stock, so when I decide to buy one, I will definitely go to Maarssen! I want to test them all before I decide which one I want to buy (7x42, 8x32, 10x40, leather or gummi).
OOOOOH stop teasing 😂
What do you mean by that more precisely ?....
Well, maybe I have to say: I did overrate it. I really thought that a huge FOV would be really really nice.What do you mean by that more precisely ?....
Thanks, and very wise words, I guess the head rest is a bit marmite, I used to use wear a cap and use that to stabilise my binoculars but I find the headrest works well for me.You already have a very nice selection of binoculars!

I would be very very happy with what you have. Keep the EL 8x32! I have a NL 10x32, but would have been very happy with the EL 10x32 as well. It wasn't sold new by then anymore. I was attracted to the bigger FOV of the NL, but now I have them the large FOV is a bit overrated imo. I have the EL 10x50 as well and 115mm FOV is large enough for me (compared with the 132mm of the NL 10x32). I do not like the head rest. I bought it and sold it again.
The focuser of the NL is really smooth and the position of it is better as well. That's true!
I am a 10 power person, so the only bins I miss in your lineup is a 10 power. I miss a Habicht too, so a Habicht 10x40 would be a nice addition!
I understand exactly what you mean, it’s not a huge jump where it pops out at you. Take the 8x32 EL and NL for example theres 0.5° Difference in FOV, it really isn’t visually that much of a difference. We’re talking about 26 feet at a 1000 yards, at 75 yards it’s barely noticeable. Don’t misunderstand me , a larger FOV if all things are equal is a nice thing. But spending $1000 plus for a 1/2 a degree in FOV is sometimes not worth it. I understand there’s more than just the FOV increase in these two examples but again the former already has a large FOV for the genre, the build is the same except for a slightly smoother focuser it’s not so profound. It’s not like were paying for a visual image like the true SWA vintage binoculars of yesteryear. Those have a completely different visual experience of FOV, it’s on a different scale when comparing them to the EL or NL. 10 to 12° is completely on another level.
Somehow I prefer the looks of the old CL 30 over de new Companion CL 30.
me too !
Oh my... I was not familiar with the original (?) CL!
At least the focuser on the Swaro is in the right place 😜
