What to consider when choosing your binoculars

Objective lens diameter

The objective lens diameter specifies how much light can enter the optics. This makes it a key factor in an instrument’s performance, for example, in twilight. The bigger the objective lens diameter, the more light the objective lens can capture. The darker the surroundings, the larger the objective lens diameter needs to be. Check the precise product name as the number after the ‘x’ specifies the objective lens diameter in millimeters. For example, a device with the suffix 10x42 has an objective lens with a diameter of 42 mm.

Product description

With their 12x magnification, the revolutionary NL Pure 12x42 binoculars bring even very distant details, for example in mountain terrain, up close. They offer the perfect combination of professional technology and comfortable handling. The large objective lens diameter of 42 mm allows a lot of light inside, even at dawn or dusk, and makes it possible to clearly identify even the smallest details.

The NL Pure 12x42 are ideal for the following purposes:

  • Binoculars for professional use

  • Perfect for observing in mountain terrain

  • For use in low light at dawn or dusk

  • For people who want to identify lots of details at long distances

The NL Pure 12x42 binoculars are reliable and powerful companions in many situations, from mountain terrain to other outdoor settings. Their wasp waist ensures they sit ergonomically in your hand. For longer periods of use, the optional forehead rest is recommended for jitter-free images and to prevent fatigue.

Overview of the NL Pure 12x42:

  • 12x magnification

  • 113 m (123.6 yds) field of view at a distance of 1,000 m (1,093.6 yds).

  • Weight: 840 g (29.6 oz)

  • Dimensions: 158 x 131 x 71 mm (6.2 x 5.2 x 2.8 in)

Like all the binoculars in the NL Pure product series, the NL Pure 12x42 also feature the innovative SWAROVISION technology. The specially shaped lenses provide crystal-clear images all the way to the edges. If your eye moves in the large field of view, this technology eliminates the need to refocus.

Brief description of the SWAROVISION technology

The key feature of the ground-breaking SWAROVISION technology is the field flattener lenses which offset the curvature of the field of view and provide edge sharpness. This means the complete image stays sharp from the middle of the field of view all the way to the edges. There is no need to refocus if your eye moves in the image, you can immediately see every detail in absolute clarity. The special coating on the lenses in combination with the inert gas filling ensures color fidelity.

The NL Pure series

The binoculars in the NL Pure series offer an enormous field of view all the way to the edges. The wasp waist ensures that each optical device sits ergonomically in your hand. This makes all the binoculars in this product series loyal companions even during extended periods of use. The amazing quality provided by SWAROVISION and the field flattener lenses guarantees precise and razor-sharp images with no distortion.

    These are wonderful binoculars, even better than my beloved EL 10x42. The optics are as you'd expect from Swarovski, and even at a premium price are worth it to dedicated birders. (I resisted buying these, especially since my EL's are still in fine shape, but my husband pointed out that I spend thousands of dollars on trips to see birds, so I should actually optimize my chances of actually seeing them!) I chose the 12x42 because as I age, my eyes are seeing less color and detail, and I need all the help I can get. The weight is a bit more than my EL 10x42 but the indentation fits my hands very well and seems to reduce the impact of extra weight. The focus is much faster than my EL, which is really the only irritation I have with the ELs. I like the clarity throughout the entire circle of view, with the only distortion my bifocals at the bottom, and no black circles at the edges. Overall, what you pay for and expect from Swarovski.

    I’ve owned 10 X 42 Swarovski for 30 years and love them. I’m having a problem getting a good feeling so far on my new 12 X 42 and not sure why I’m not pleased so far.

    They are just beyond compare. The clarity is amazing.

    Fantastic range and clarity for days out in the countryside spotting wildlife.
