  • How does the new NL pure 12x42 stack up against the non HD SLC 15x56? In this video we do a low light comparison of the two optics side by side. First we travel to Phoneskope to have a custom eyepiece cut to film through. Next we film at low light through both optics and compare the results. Each phone was set to the same zoom numbers and cropped to the same scale in each shot. The results are interesting when compared side by side. We still love the 15x56 and know its a great tool but the impressive 12x42 NL Pure is definitely worth considering. You can order the new NL Pure on the Epic Outdoors Website through Epic Optics or give us a call at 435-263-0777

    Man, a picture is worth a thousand words! (And it saves at least one page of writing!) 👍
    Thank you!
    Now I'd like to see the same comparison with the following contenders (preferably 8×, athough it would be fine with any magnification as long as you use the same in all of them):
    - Swarovski NL Pure 8×42
    - Swarovski EL WB 8.5×42
    - Leica Noctivod 8×42
    - Leica Ultravid HD Plus 8×42
    - Zeiss Victory SF 8×42
    - Zeiss Victory HT 8×42 / 8×54

    Great video, would love to see more content like this. I do think it would have been a fairer fight if you’d used the current model of SLCs, because the ones you used are ancient! Still very interesting.

    Probably should've use the most modern 15x56 SLC. The optical difference is noteworthy between the latest generation and every iteration of the first generation. The NLs are clearly a better optic, but this test skewed it heavily in the NLs favor. More magnification with 20 year old technology wasn't much of a fair fight.

    Do the same test with the 15S SLC HD, The most current EL 12x50s, and The NL 12x42s.
    Dont think its a fair comparison using non HD vs the "new best" binocular.

      Epic Outdoors I second C777’s request. I’d really like to see a side-by-side comparison of the NL 12x42s and the EL 12x50s, especially in very low light. Please and thank you.

    The 15x56HD are much better than the NON... Thanks for posting either way! How did you feel the eye relief was on the NL? I sold my 12x50 cause they would black out (not a lot but more then my Leica's) if your eye socket wasn't smashed into bino's. Is the NL pure improved in that regard?

    Was the SLCs dirty or scratched? I was anticipating the nls to have a slight advantage but those SLCs looked nothing like they should have.

    • @DanMasterBlaster
      @DanMasterBlaster 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have the SLC 10 x 56 and the clarity and vibrancy is phenomenal. It looks like these binos had dirty lenses or the camera used was lower clarity but it’s not the same colour and vibrancy on my Binos or others I have tried. I also have the 10 X 30 2EL which have good clarity however the light transmission on the SLC is is unparalleled.

    • @EpicOutdoors
      @EpicOutdoors  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      no not dirty or scratched. they are not the new HD version of the SLC though they are the previous model that Ive been using for the last few years. The HD version I'm sure would look much clearer

    Is it just me? The 15x looks like it has gauge over the glass. I'm trying to decide between these two binos and based on this the 12x wins by a mile.

    If you’re going to do a comparison test then the binoculars need to be the same magnification !

    • @EpicOutdoors
      @EpicOutdoors  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not when youre comparing to see if the 12 is a suitable lighter weight replacement for the old 15s. In that case youd like to see if a 12 can compete with the 15 and if the clarity difference is worth losing the extra magnification.
