“I am a fan of Swarovski products and always rate them highly and allow other people to look through my own equipment for them to make up their minds. However, I still believe it's good to not be 100% committed to one brand as there as other excellent options out there and sometimes it comes down to personal preference on weight, design etc which might swing an opinion from one brand to another. No one brand is perfect!”
“The binoculars are optically fantastic. After having had a chance to use them I love the ergonomics of the barrel, which i did not think would matter much when I looked at them at the dealer. I did not give a 5th star because the eyepiece cover is a little difficult to remove and replace quickly. The lens covers are one of the main reasons I chose the NLs over the Zeiss SFs, as i walk through dense brush when hunting and wanted protection for the lenses. They covers are very good, but not perfect. As well, if there was any way you could make them smaller (like the 8x32 Ultravids) that would fantastic. Very happy if there was a 4.8 out of 5 i would have selected that score.”
