Like all the binoculars in the NL Pure product series, the NL Pure 12x42 also feature the innovative SWAROVISION technology. The specially shaped lenses provide crystal-clear images all the way to the edges. If your eye moves in the large field of view, this technology eliminates the need to refocus.
Brief description of the SWAROVISION technology
The key feature of the ground-breaking SWAROVISION technology is the field flattener lenses which offset the curvature of the field of view and provide edge sharpness. This means the complete image stays sharp from the middle of the field of view all the way to the edges. There is no need to refocus if your eye moves in the image, you can immediately see every detail in absolute clarity. The special coating on the lenses in combination with the inert gas filling ensures color fidelity.
The NL Pure series
The binoculars in the NL Pure series offer an enormous field of view all the way to the edges. The wasp waist ensures that each optical device sits ergonomically in your hand. This makes all the binoculars in this product series loyal companions even during extended periods of use. The amazing quality provided by SWAROVISION and the field flattener lenses guarantees precise and razor-sharp images with no distortion.
Verdict: Very good. Very Very good. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strengths: Very good image. Very good clarity, contrast, and "3Dness" when looking through bino. Quite likely best in the world. Good lowlight perf. Good dawn and dusk performance within reasonable requirements. Very Good FOV. You'd get a 10x mag bino FOV, in a 12x mag bino. Very good handshake control. With the extra $169 foreshead rest and the extra $45 winged eye cup, you'd get a 10x mag bino handshake, in a 12x mag bino. Good magnification rating. Even among other NL pure binos, the 12x42 truely hits the spot. Any less or more magnification would entail insufficient detail or excessive shake and size. An 14, 15, or 20 mag bino would likely result in tripod support, in which case, might as well go all the way with a spotting scope. Good form factor. Good size and weight with respect to other alpha glass. Good rubber armor. Rubber armor feels nicer than other alpha glass. Also nice color. Feels very good in the hand. Solid Warranty From my readings, any swaro binos have superb after market service. Nice strap. The included strap connects nice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shortfalls: Good-ish price. I would give a 4 or even 3 star review given the exorbitant price of bino. However, price is not more than other alpha glass. Bruises like peach. Be very mindful of keep bino lens away from dirt, dust, and oils. RARELY Use ONLY distill water and hot breath to clean. Do not even use dust blower let alone alchohol to clean lens. Any small mistake will smear lens coating... Unique shape, but not necessarily meaningful. Holding the binocular on the end will aid stability. So, if you hold the bino at the end, the advertised hourglass shape ergonomicness is lost. If anything, the hourglass shape is more of an fashion advertisement. Vexing bino mount options. Need to buy extra dedicated $199 Swaro Bino mount. Other 3rd party ~$100 options are available, but will require some research and reading. But other alpha glass also fall under this pitfall. Excessive Swaro logos. Along with the included strap, there are a total of 4 eagle logos, and 2 Swaroski letterings. Excessve with respect to other alpha glass. Not-So-Nice Strap. Strap is not compatible with any other 3rd party straps.
The best binoculars hands down.
Great glass...Finally decided that 12's made sense for chasing elk, after many years of carrying 10x42 SLC's. Chose the 12x42's because of weight...They are still bright and clear. First look through the glass was able to pick out two crows chasing what looked to be a red tailed hawk at close to a mile away. Impressive.
Images are very sharp. Feels very light and ergonomically fits well. Looking forward to using them. Arrived very quickly after purchase.
