Oops ! Thanks :t:
It is indeed a H style body (SLC HD) ..... hmm, odd - I've pretty much filed it in the memory banks under 'do not like' !must be memories of the brick like A-K x56's (which are a bit like a HH :-O).
The old 'Neu' (if that makes sense) in smaller sizes is more what I had in mind.
Chosun :gh:
Yep I knew you were imagining the 'neu' version.
Next came SLC HD which was green and black.
The current version is just called SLC and all green.

I believe I have figured out the main goal of the forehead rest: to achieve its maximum efficiency of some 10% (maybe a bit more for those with critical hand tremors) you have to press it hard on your forehead, which will get a red square mark (the so-called NL stamp) that will identify you as a Swaro owner long after you put the binos back in the case.

Have you found that checking post after post (good luck with doing that when this thread will have no limits, much like the NL's image), or is there a way of using keywords to search within a thread?

Here is a diagram of the diopter, no mention of a lock.

Where do you think the best place to pre-order the Swarovski NL 8x42 would be? Do you think there will be any discounting in the beginning?

Watch out Jan, Dennis will want to trade-in at least one Swaro EL32 and several Nikon EDGs.

The EDG's are already gone. I am keeping the smaller EL 8x32 for my hiking binocular.

My dad use to always use that term when we were kid's. I haven't heard it in a long time. It was funny to hear it. It mean's everybody pay's for their OWN!

Exactly, that is why we have suggested retail prices, it allows discounts from an arbitrarily unreasonable level without hurting retailer margins. o

Of course he has. [email protected] is just a truncation of [email protected]. His cunning disguise fools no one.

Swaro dealer discounts have been 10% for as long as I know.
US NL prices:
8x42: $2969
10x42: $3029
12x42: $3099
Not in stock of course, but it explains why the EL price was dropped. That's not a huge price increase for the NL. Old price on the 8.5 SV was, if memory serves, $2649??
Just for yucks, check out Dennis' one-star review on the 8x32 SV on B&H, from March I think. Always a hoot, Dennis. Comic relief I guess.

The one and only reason why retailers/dealers give always 10% discount in The Netherlands is because the Birding Protecting Society is giving that discount to members. A one year membership costs 28,00 euro, so that's a easy math.
It's not a secret, the margin on Swarovski optics is 25% for A-dealers (the highest turnover level).

Sorry, I meant retail discounts. I have no idea what dealers pay. It doesn't sound as lucrative as hand sanitizer.
