    NL Pure condensation on eye pieces

    Hi There, after a few months I thought it helpful to update. Despite the misting issues - I eventually decided that, given all the positive reviews on the NL, I should try again. So I purchased another pair of the 10x42 in late December. I still have them, they do mist more than any bin I have...

    NL Pure condensation on eye pieces

    There are some very interesting thoughts and suggestions being shared, not sure if I will get my drill out just yet though, and I would need to commit to another NL to try it out. An interesting thought though for the future, if anyone has reason to try it out please do share if it makes a...

    NL Pure condensation on eye pieces

    Hi there, I can assure you that I tried every combination of eye relief on both sets I tested. I wanted nothing more than to make these bins work for me, but failed.

    NL Pure condensation on eye pieces

    I have just managed to try a second pair of NL Pure in 10x42 and after extensive testing the same issues with condensation happened again.

    NL Pure condensation on eye pieces

    NL Pure condensation on eye pieces

    Hi, the bins are brand new and I have never cleaned the eyepieces, they look pristine to me. I have heard back from Swaro who have suggested I return then to the dealer and try another pair to check if the particular pair I have are at fault. They don't have any ideas to offer on why they might...

    NL Pure condensation on eye pieces

    Hi - thanks for all your replies. I am not wearing a mask and have also tried again all positions of the eye pieces including winding the eye pieces right down. It unfortunately makes no difference. Looks like it down to design and my eyes. But I still find it strange I have not experienced this...

    NL Pure condensation on eye pieces

    I took delivery of a pair of NL pure 10x42 last weekend. I am thrilled with them in every way bar one concern. I have noticed that they are particularly prone to condensation forming on the eyepieces. This is external and starts forming after about 45 seconds of continuous viewing. I can see...
