    I wonder what some of the members here would look like out birding, I am sure I would get some laughs. Being Dutch he at least has height. Andy W.

    "A more mainstream move might be to develop an extrawide field 50mm SF line up that comes in around about the weight of the Swaro NL ......" Sorry that won't happen, too much glass, thick heavy glass.

    Only a few have viewed the NLs, lets wait until someone has spent more than a day in the field with them, then one can compare to the SF and others. There seems to be frustration of a new glass coming out, and folks are thinking I just got (a premium glass) and now Swarovski comes out with the...

    I have the SV, UVHD 12X50 and I use them under the night sky. The NL 12X42 might have a wider FOV, but it does not have the aperture to reach further in those conditions. In my opinion the 12X42 was made for hunters, though it would be a nice glass for the daytime along the shore etc., but not a...

    If anyone could do it, it would be Nikon, however it has to benefit Nikon too. Andy W.

    OK. it has been said, we can all go home and wait for the NL. I am still curious about a few things about the NL myself, so nothing like getting one in my hands. However, for many including myself that could be late this year or next year. Andy W.

    Regarding the new design of the Swarovski NL going away from the bridge, to a conventional design could have been made for other reasons. The original design left the focus mechanism little room for placement of linkage, and I would gander that many of the repairs for the SVs going in for...

    Would availability of the NL be different in the EU and the USA?

    Dennis, I wonder how long will you like the NL 8X42 when you receive them, I have a feeling that you prefer the 8X32 format - (like when you preferred the 8X32 SV over the 8.5X42 SV), and that you will end up with the SF 8X32.

    Thanks for the info. An acquaintance wants to order early, I also listed sport Optics, Euro-optics will waive state taxes, however Delaware has no sales tax.

    Nothing Jan, I don't have a CL, just a Neu 8X30.

    New Product Introduction Today From Swarovski ?

    The older Neu is still a great 8X30, however an improved one would be a great value if cost was in the $1,500 price range.

    New Product Introduction Today From Swarovski ?

    "How many brave souls have pre-ordered the new NL ?" I think some patience is warranted on the pre-order, at least for me. I will wait until they actually circulate out there a bit. With the Covid issue, service/repair has been, well...lagging, (all manufacturers), so who knows how production...
