    Is it really worth buying an NL 8x42?

    Yes, it's a fantastic resource.

    Is it really worth buying an NL 8x42?

    That doesn't sound too promising. So would a roof prism bino fare better in that situation (falls/concussions?)

    Is it really worth buying an NL 8x42?

    [email protected] Could you please PM me once you get hold of those rubber objective covers? I've flicked Swaro an email re: the rubber covers and I'm waiting for a response.

    Is it really worth buying an NL 8x42?

    I think you know the answer. Deep down, what do want people to say? "Go for it", or "keep your SLC"? I bought a 10x42 NL, and while it's an optically brilliant bino, the novelty has already worn off (it's been about 3 weeks). I think it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that an object...
