I looked through a pair of these yesterday- unbelievable view, and a very easy to look through bin. Now very much on my wish list! Great info and video - thanks

[@SouthWestOptics-tp8yz]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. They are shockingly impressive. Real, genuine wow factor optics.

I had these for a while, I did really enjoy the view when used on a tripod which is how their optimum performance was revealed, the view was astonishing! A bit big and heavy I feel for an every day binocular especially if one is carrying a lot of camera gear too!

Amazing to use in the hide and prop your elbows for extra stability if there is a place to rest. Thanks for watching.

discontinued? rumours of the 50mm NL pure must be true

[@patrickmcphillips7276]

Excellent video Russell, it inspired me to order them from SW Optics.

Hi Patrick - Glad to provide the inspiration!

[@zebrapaarden]

I am currently in doubt between the EL 10x50 and the NL pure 10x42. The NL's cost around 800 euro more than the EL's. Do you feel like the difference in price is worth the upgrade?

[@antonoat]

I owned the 10x50s and I honestly don't think their view and optical quality can be improved on!

I have the El 10 x 50 my favorite bino. I also had the nl. Pure. 10 x 42Would rather the El 10 x 50

[@zebrapaarden]

@@eugenekiely2282 thank you for your reply Eugene, what makes you prefer the EL over the NL?

[@SouthWestOptics-tp8yz]

The value to performance ratio is amazing on the EL - particularly at the moment, but also in general. The total amount of light flux through the 50mm objective is quite special combined with this field flattener resulting in highly special images and viewing experience.

[@user-nt7zo9er5t]

Don’t understand firms making instruments this expensive without image stabilisation. It would only put the price up a few hundred quid or less and be a genuine improvement.

[@SouthWestOptics-tp8yz]

Having discussed this with Swarovski, their opinion is that they make a better system without it at this stage in time due to weight, cost and particularly then, performance at this weight and balance. The forehead rest is still a better option taking these factors into consideration. It's a topic they have fully analyzed and could make tomorrow - but with no real world advantage. The same is true of the Visio.
