    Steve: I am also wishing you all the best with your shoulder issues. I do hope with the down time, you can find the time and ability to get out and do some viewing. Don't rush into getting back to work. And remember to use some of your smaller 30mm binoculars, you know they can be used...

    Chosun: You seem be mentioning Zeiss, the Victory SF is quite new and is currently at the top of the heap. The new NL sounds good, but as you should know, it took Swarovski over 10 years to come out with their new flagship. Jerry

    Peter: Of course you must know that most SV owners are not bothered much if at all with the maladies you mention. Have you any experience with this model ? That means those things are not a problem at all for them. When you spend well over $2,000.00 for a binocular, you just get out there...

    I think the new NL should be compared to the Zeiss Victory SF. The HT is gone, so no comparison there. The EL does have the focuser mounted much higher and not as easy to use. I have experience, and it is one big reason the SF is better than the SV, and that is in ergos. I call the optics a...

    Dennis: Don't promote a seller like this. The earliest availability in the US is Sept. 1st from Swarovski retailers. There are no sellers that would have anything earlier. Dennis the Menace, don't spread this stuff, and for those wanting to purchase any new Swarovski optic, buy only from...

    Alexis: There is nothing wrong with Casio, they are a very accurate watch. My Casio calculator watch is my most often used watch, but I also like Seiko and Rolex. My Casio helped me purchase a Rolex. :smoke: Don't judge a book by its cover. Jerry

    Send Jan a PM, I'm sure he would be great to deal with. I would love to go to his shop someday, if I ever go to Europe. Jerry

    I have doubts that Swarovski has actually changed the optics in the EL, they have just posted that change to make the new NL look better than the EL. They know very few users would care about any small changes in close focus in any of these models. Jerry

    Stan: How does the new NL have image stabilazation ? If you think the forehead pad is the trick, I don't agree. For 12x and above things are harder, and a tripod is helpful and often necessary. Jerry

    Lee: Thanks for the comparison photo, it seems the Zeiss Victory SF will have an EDGe in handling and the rear balance that makes them such a joy to use. The SF does not need a forehead pad, what a distraction that seems to be. Jerry

    John: Not sure about what is your "expert" summation and what is from the official Swarovsk link , from your post. I think you should stay on point, and you don't know.......:smoke: Jerry

    It is good Swarovski has introduced a new flagship, this was expected. What is a surprise is the large price increase over anything else. The reviews to come will be interesting. Jerry
