Does anyone that own NLs ever wish they would have bought the ELs instead? The size and function of the NLs is so great, but that tiny extra bit of light with the ELs (50 vs 42) is so noticeable to me.
I’ve never played is this world of high end binos and coming from b.5 mavens, so still trying to learn and wrap my head around the swaros and the price tag with them.

You can’t go wrong with either, obviously. But once cry once.
I went with the 12x42 NL pures. Absolutely love them. I came from vortex vipers. And I thought those were “good” binos…. Maybe they are… My wife uses the Vipers now and switching back to those in the field I can’t believe how I used them for so long. Each time I take my eyes out of my Swaros she snags them from me haha.

When i first made the leap i compared slc and el heavily in all light conditions. SLC were brighter but el had better color and definition contrast. In the end i got EL because that suited my needs and found a deal. The pures combined all of it for me and was worth the upgrade. Same definition and contrast with increased lowlight brightness. Thats with 10 power tho.

If the Pures were ranging binos that would be a gamechanger.So true, my luck I would buy Pures and the next day they would release Rangefinder Pures . I will stick with ELs until that happens

I have Leica Geovid HD range/bino - have never looked thru any Swaros , are they much better than leicas?
I’ve owed both but settled on Swaro range
Not a ton better but there are a few differences depending on which Leicas you have the button could be on the other side. This could come into play for bow hunting. Other than that I think the Swaro’s meter better in snow and glare.

After tons of thinking and budgeting, I ditched the swaro thought and decided to keep saving for a moose hunt sometime soon
Ended up buying another pair of mavens to replace the mavens I sold for this swaro thought :bash: :chuckle:

How is the field of view on those Mavens?
