If the 8X32 NL "speaks to you" ....... listen to it, and buy one.

If didn't already have the 8X32 SF, and wouldn't take a monumental hosing on sale or trade, if probably have an 8X32 NL. .

I definitely think they spoke to me...Unless I'm going crazy (?) 🤣

I'm wondering how the EL compares too, its a real shame I don't know anyone with a pair nearby!

My guess is that that the NL is an improvement over the EL.

I think this statement is too general.
Some Leica UV models work with eyeglasses, others less so and yes, the Noctis should hardly cause any problems with eyeglasses.

I wear specs:
I have never tried the 8x32uvhd
8x42BL and 8x42UVHD fit great.
8x42 and 10x42NV also fit great.
7x35retros fit great.
8x30 and 8x40SFL fit great.
8x32FL fit ok (a tiny bit right ER)

Update...Ended up going back last week and ordering a pair of NL Pure 8x32 - they'd sold out annoyingly but quickly re-stocked...Pick up tomorrow 😁

Apparently they're getting scopes in too... Might have to take my tripod and compare my chinese Svbony SA401 alongside - no doubt I'll be saving up to upgrade the scope next 😂

I can’t even imagine that you won’t be delighted.

May I wish you many happy hours looking through them?

And please tell us your impressions, especially the first ones.

I'm absolutely delighted with them. I picked them up quite late in the afternoon so didn't get to try out in the daylight unfortunately. But I had a play around with them and tested them on the stars and they're definitely as bright, if not brighter than my 42mm objective Fuji HC. I love how sharp they are too and how they work great with eyeglasses. Absolutely pinpoint sharp on the stars with nice neutral colour especially on mars. I noticed the Fuji is more "rich" on stars I'd say.

I love how they thought of all the little details and even include soap and a brush in the box and the carry case is really beautiful too with its soft feel and metal buckles.

One thing I noticed from what I read in previous reviews is that some people had issues with the armor and the seam where the armor joins together. I'm wondering if they fixed that because whilst I can see the seam, it doesn't appear as prominent as I'd believed. I also noticed in the handbook that came with it, it mentions about using DEET and how it may affect materials (good to know living in Australia as we use it a lot here)

I nearly purchased the harness as it looked really nice in the shop, but I figured I'd test the next strap on a few outings and see how my neck is afterwards. I have to be careful with weight around my neck but it appears from the way the strap sits, it actually distributes it around the top of the shoulders more due to how its shaped.

I'm probably going to get the forehead rest eventually as extra stabilisation for me would be great due to my neurological issues. Its a shame its quite expensive though!

Now... Next on the list... Swarovski spotting scope 😆 if those are as good with eyeglasses, I'm set for life!
