Today, Swarovski just released a gamechanger in their binocular line in the new NL Pure series. The NL Pure is offered in 8x42, 10x42, and 12x42.
I wanted to wait to release this article until I got some time behind these, so earlier this morning I went out and got to put my eyes behind them. And WOW! These are nice!
"They are unbelievable, so unbelievable. I'm blown away by them. They are amazing!" - My exact words to Brady Miller this morning on the phone.
I've never felt a binocular that fits better in my hand. This might sound crazy... but these are something else to hold.
The NL Pure has the largest ever field of view ever, and on top of that, barely perceptible edges that really make glassing that much better! Add to that Swarovision technology and lens coatings that guarantees everything you glass will be crystal clear and perfect colors to enable you to pick apart the terrain with ease, plus 91% light transmission!
The field flattener lenses deliver an almost flat, and completely distortion-free view across the image. I really noticed this view as I tested out these binoculars earlier this morning. Plus, these are compatible with the Swarovski Universal Tripod Adapter as a separate accessory for glassing off a tripod.
Along with those great features, the NL Pure design was built to perfectly fit in your hand. The ergonomic shape guarantees relaxed viewing even when hand-holding them while glassing.

One really cool feature is the FRP Forehead Rest (available as an accessory). Swarovski sort of took this concept from their BTX eyepiece and built it as an add on piece for the NL Pure line. This does create a new level of stability and comfort when glassing behind these without a tripod.
A new system was built to position the focusing mechanism in the binocular's new ergonomic housing.
