    Which binocular(s) did you use today?

    At the weekend using my Swarovski NL Pure 12x42 with forehead rest at my local nature reserve in Cambridgeshire UK, surprisingly stable for 12’s but amazing on a tripod, last week I returned from a holiday to Mexico where I took my Swarovski EL 8x32

    Binocular Sightings

    Hi, I have the ATX 85 and a small collection of Swarovski binoculars, but I think I have now found my ideal set up which is the NL 12x42 mounted on a tripod. The view I get is amazing, I have never been particularly fond of the view I have through the ATX compared to the binoculars.

    Would you get an NL Pure 32mm if you already had a 42, or maybe something else?

    I have the NL 8x42 and the EL FP 8x32 I absolutely love the view through the NL but I find I pick up the EL’s a little more often as they are lighter, I think for general birding the EL8x32 takes some beating and for around half the price second hand of a new NL 8x32. I am considering getting...

    How do you feel about your NL 8x42 a year or two down the line?

    My view on the NL 8x42 after 6 months. These were my first alpha binoculars and first Swarovski’s and soon after buying them I went on a Swarovski journey buying spree with a ATX scope (new) pair or curio (new) and a second hand pair of EL 8x32 FP. Now I love the NL’s and the view from them it’s...
