I have been following that thread, hoping that someone would sneak in a comment on the 8X,and when no one did I decided to start an 8X thread.In the meantime, you can read this: https://www.birdforum.net/threads/it’s-may-—has-anybody-bought-tried-out-a-nl-pure-32-yet.408425/page-2#post-4184676
My comments were about the x8 as well as the post I gave the link for. What would you want to know?I have been following that thread, hoping that someone would sneak in a comment on the 8X,and when no one did I decided to start an 8X thread.
You will have to wait for chill6x6 report or somebody else I guess.I guess I was hoping for a "shootout" type of direct compare and contrast type of thing.

Great advice, which I have practiced for several years. That said, I do enjoy reading other folks impressions on the forum, whether I agree with them or not, as I can build up a reference of how my own experience with the same equipment corresponds with theirs. Most reviews and comparisons posted here, with a few exceptions, are primarily a subjective response, so one should take what anyone writes here with a grain of salt, unless their tastes, habits, or circumstances have common ground. Issues like eye relief, handling, weight, CA, AFOV interest me, and by hearing other's reports, it gives me a better idea of whether a certain binocular may suit me or not. Of course, if I really want to know, the only way is to get one in my hands and see for myself.Face it folks, is a review by a few on here going to sway you to make a $2,200 or 2,500 decision? I sure hope not. If you have the $$ to buy one, surely you have the resources to try both then make a decision for yourself.
Are you still on lockdown over there?We are also working on an investigation of, among others, the 8x32 NL Pure and the SF 8x32. The majority of the measurements and observations are done, writing it up remains.

Spot on, it allows one to consider certain aspects of a model or brand, and if a n issue raised is worth considering. Most will adjust accordingly though occasionally a member may argue their point with vigour - which is fine too.That said, I do enjoy hearing other folks impressions on the forum, whether I agree with them or not, as I can build up a reference of how my experience with the same equipment corresponds with theirs.
