Pure NL the right one for me? (3 Viewers)

Hi Reinier, what is your current bino setup? I read that you sold the Habicht and NL 10x52?
I know, it has changed quite a bit last year ;) .
At the moment I have:
NL 12x42
NL 10x32
SLC 8x42
Habicht 7x42
CL 10x25
Curio 7x21

And I think I am happy with this setup and will leave it this way the coming years. Covering all ground in my opinion.
My scopes: ATC 17-40x56 and ATX 85. So no need for any change there as well.
Very blessed and very happy with my swaros. The NL's are definitely my favourites. I like the smooth focusers, the ergonomics, the eyecups with the multiple positions and the large afov. I also like fieldpro and the possibility to set the length of the straps. The glare doesn't bother me.

Thanks for the update! Great collection and indeed more than sufficient.

How does one get NL Pure "pretty cheap", pray tell?

No clue, one shop from Netherlands had the orange one for 1.970€ discounted - 300€ off the normal current price. Don't see any B-Stock signs..

I think I know now what people see as permanent glare issues. I have it in the bottom 20% if I look down at that part. Looking straight through the bino, it's gone.
 
Wow! You are lucky! The NL 8x42 had the most glare of any NL I tried, and I tried them all. Do you have shallow or deep eye sockets, and what click stop do you use them on?
3-4 on the click stop. My eyes are also fairly well recessed and not especially wide apart. I don’t wear glasses and my distance eyesight is good.

Me to but def not permanent. Rather will of wispish...
 
I agree. A reflection of one's cheeks, that's what I suspect too but it has not really been mentioned in all the discussions about glare...
Well, I've mentioned it a few times in past discussions :) Of course it's my observation and my experience with this bonocular. But maybe there are others who can confirm (or not confirm) this? So: if you have an NL, walk outside, and test my observation. And let us know if it works for you or not.
 
Don't let the NL rest under your eyebrows but hold them right before your eyes. Most of the glare is being caused by the light reflecting from your cheeks.
Interesting, so would it help if you use “make-up” or use the stuff that soldiers put on their face to prevent glare?
In that case Swarovski should not only provide soap and a brush but also a crème to put on your cheeks.
