I don't care for Sport Optics. They never seem to have anything in stock anymore. I much prefer Euro-optic. They sell a lot of optics and firearms and I have always had good service from them.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.
I’ve located some additional information from Swarovski about the NL:
• A 5 MB NL Fact Sheet in various languages can be found at: https://myservice.swarovskioptik.com/s/article/Fact-sheet-NL-Pure?language=en_US
• And a 2.3 MB Export Price List for 2020/ 2021 at: https://myservice.swarovskioptik.com/s/article/Retail-price-list-Export-2020-21?language=en_US
The fact sheet includes:
- some detail about the optics and the focuser (image 1)
- the new UCS neck strap and the new FSB bag (image 2)
And see another image of the bag from: https://www.verrekijkershop.nl/vogelverrekijkers/swarovski-nl-pure-12x42.html

Thanks, John. I like the idea of a side case. I think it will be easier to get the binoculars out of the case. It looks big enough for the strap also.I’ve located some additional information from Swarovski about the NL:

I am not so sure about the forehead rest either. I didn't order one with my NL 8x42. I am going to wait for some feedback from other users first before I buy one. I don't like the idea of adding weight to the binocular unless it really is beneficial. I am very interested to see what a 477-foot FOV looks like with sharp edges though. That is wider than an EII.Thanks John for the info. It will be interesting to see how that forehead bracket works out. I am not so sure...
Optical box? Is that what the CLs are shipped in?

... I don't think, though, that a new binocular not yet available has ever previously created such a stir on BF.
A bit off topic, but how can post #580 be a reply to #581?
Anti-causality? Now you have the proof that the author of #581 is from another planet/universe.
Jan,
You were probably the only one.

Hi Ed,
Don't ask me how it works but the view through the CL30 is without blackouts no matter the position of the eye cups, at least for me.

Hello John,
My recollection is that the Zeiss FL models created quite a stir.
Stay safe,
Arthur :hi:
Isn't it the same optics as in a rifle scope where you need the super-long eye relief/optical box to avoid getting poked in the eye due to the recoil?

I am worried about the initial description by the Swarovski sales folk and their surrogates that the edges of the field seem to “disappear”. This sounds like the field stops will not be visible without purposeful repositioning of the eyeball to the eyepiece. This would be a real disappointment as I expect to see a sharp round field stop with totally dark surround on an alpha level binocular.

Hi Lee,
If memory serves me well, it isn't possible to get the eye lens of the riflescope close to the eye without experiencing blackouts, something that doesn't occur with the CL30.
Since you brought it up, the word "poking" brings me sweet memories:smoke:
