Shame about the weight? not so much, how about the price $3,200.00?

No doubt... well into top spotting scope prices now. Still, I can't look away now that I've seen them.

Shame about the weight though.

The NL Pure is not a replacement for the Swarovski EL binoculars – ‘don’t mess with the legend,’ they tell us gravely – but Swarovski staff point out that the new model is better.
What is the cost in US for the 12X42's..? Unable to find it.. These cost no more then my EL 10X42 Rangefinders and less then my 95MM ATX Scope..
List of 3,050 EURO would be over $3,400 as now.
Adds 12x42, 130m (7.4º).
I can see EL still selling well despite the introduction of the NL. Only those who have the money and want the very best Swarovski will pay the big bucks for the NL. So maybe they won't even make an NL 32.
I would have been more excited about a new SLC 8x32, but this may never happen when there's already choice of CL 30 or EL 32.

Yes, somehow that could suggest front-heaviness... or perhaps it's mainly intended to support the higher magnification of the 12x, handheld? Curious also that the photo shows a return to a flat braided strap, but still the (safe to say, not universally popular?) FP pivot attachment.Some curiosity about the forehead brace, hmmm....I wonder about the balance on the new glass, surely there will be a discussion about it.
Indeed, the 12x can't have the virtually same FOV as the 10x. Still it's an interesting choice and suggests there will be no 50mm NL, whatever one imagines about a possible 32. (12x42 won't be to most birders' tastes any more than my 10x32 is, but I'm sure Swaro have done it well.)I think during presentation they say "one hundred thirteen" not "one hundred thirty". 7.4 deg for 12x seems too high.
Seldomperched, post 6,
I hope that you will not share this message with anybody, but Swarovski succeeded in the production of wave shaped prisms, so light waves can pass them fully in phase.
