NL's are simply the best! (3 Viewers)

The NL's are best for me because I like a big FOV that is tack sharp to the edge, and they are the ONLY binoculars that have that. Not even the Zeiss SF do. The NL's are my most used binoculars because they are the only ones I have. The NL 8x32 and the NL 10x32. Because the NL's are the only binoculars that have a huge FOV combined with a perfectly corrected field and a lot of other things like a super smooth focuser, smooth steel eye cups and an excellent ergonomically shaped body makes me agree with Allbinos that they are the best binoculars available right now. They may not be the best for you, but overall I think for most people they are the best. I have had plenty of time to try all my binoculars before I make a decision as to what I prefer.
LOL … and you just got them.

very entertaining thread. Not to be taken seriously.

Your endurance for buying, returning and selling is really impressive. I don’t know how you do it year after year. hard to keep track of it all but I recall recently you’ve had MHG then a handful of Zeiss (SFs and FLs) now back to NL.

Just stick with Swarovski FFS. you keep returning to Swaro and then claim they are the very “best”.
I remember many years you deemed EL SV the best until they were awful with glare.
 
There must be some point to it, and there certainly is a lot of interest in discussing the NL's because this and other threads I have started are way more popular than most threads on Bird Forum that simply die out for lack of interest. I have never seen you start a thread that lasted for more than ten responses because there is no interest when you just quote a bunch of boring stuff garnered from Wikipedia.

Finally, I understand 🤦‍♂️
It’s all about whose is biggest 🤷‍♂️

I do see a difference in those two binoculars, but those are vastly different quality binoculars. When you compare two alpha binoculars like the EL and NL and say that the EL is sharper, I highly doubt it and I can see no difference because of the low magnification binoculars are used at. Show me a picture of an EL next to an NL where there is an obvious difference in sharpness. You would have to have a boosted image to see a difference and a resolution chart to compare them.
I can post the photo comparison because I have made comparison between 8x32 / 10x32.

but will you belive?

this form of denco will deny even if I post the photo of resolution chart with booster saying that photo is just a photo. because you made up your mind differently, right?

you are the member of the forum that I've tried my best to understand and to be understanded.
so thats why I responded you till last not ignoring like other.
I think everyone except you will know that recently, I was the one that most passionatly reply you
whether I agree or not
(which I starts to regret using my sleeping hours for that...)

but I think I can't manage to made it. til now and forever

apparent popularity like likes and views doesn't mean the quality.

for example, science thesis forum and ticktock
who will get more like and views?

every one will know that poplurity doesn't always meen right...

sadly, one of the most read article that I wrote in Korean forum is about 3 dollor trash bino. more then 10 times more view then two 2500+ dollor bino comparison.

I thought here is different, but found out it is very similar.

article wrotten under famous brand name like big 3 and nikon get much much more like and comment then other regardless of effort.

look at the difference my post of brief Zeiss comparison with 120comments and vortex UHD review that have much more detailed information....

guess we are living in the same world...

I wouldn't flatter myself If I were you. It's like the watching the bearded midget lady at the local carnival.....you just can't help but look and stare in disbelief.

If you only did a comparison of 8x32 and 10x32, how can you say the EL is sharper? I would like to see your objective tests that confirm the EL is sharper than the NL, with a resolution chart and a booster and at the same magnification. You don't want to say stuff like that unless you can back it up with facts. Swarovski engineers would laugh at you if you told them the EL was sharper than the NL because jackjack says it is so.

Here is another comparison of 26 binoculars, where the NL came out 1st place. As I say, the cream always rises to the top! The NL is the best!

Scopeviews feels the Swarovski NL is the best birding in the world also. How much more proof do I need?

"NL Pure is a significant step forward from EL, making it the world’s best birding binocular. It’s outstanding in almost every way except resistance to veiling flare. If you’re looking for a birding bino, and you want the very best view and handling, you just found it. Likewise, if you love sweeping the Milky Way under dark skies."

 
Outdoor Life also thinks NL's are the best birding binocular available. More proof?

"Swarovski’s NL Pure might well be the best binocular for bird watching if price isn’t a concern. The wasp-bodied curves of its shapely barrels grip your hands, creating a rock-solid support for glassing with even the 12-power model. The field-flattenener lenses create a picture-window view of the world. And the immense field of view — among the widest in the business — gives birders a lot to look at."

 
Western Hunter also thinks the NL's are the best binoculars in the world. More proof.

"Optically, the NL Pure is a step above the next best binocular in the world (the EL). I spent hours with both models side by side on a tripod before I could start to pick out the subtle differences. Honestly, the image quality alone would not be enough for me to choose the NL over the EL, but the improved field of view would be. The NL 10x42 delivers 399 ft FOV compared to the 336 ft in the EL. An extra-wide FOV doesn’t do much for the user when hand-holding (the constant motion keeps your eyes in the middle), but on a tripod, being able to see 30% more terrain will directly translate into more animals found. The team at the Outdoorsman has already designed a sleek tripod adapter specifically for the NL Pure."

 
Even Target Tamers says the NL's are the best. They have the Razor UHD ranked 1st because of price, but they admit the NL is better. More proof.

"It’s tough to beat out a Swarovski, but the Vortex Razor UHD offers big specs, a better price point, and performance that may only be a hair behind the Swaro. For these reasons, the Vortex Razor UHD binoculars deserve the highest recognition."
