[Green] Amazing optics: Incredible sharpness, even at the edge. Virtually no chromatic aberration. I have used binoculars before, but inexpensive ones. I tried some $500 binoculars but the edge softness and chromatic aberration bothered me. I use high end medical binocular microscopes at work (Zeiss & Leica) and so am used to exceptional optical quality, so decided to spring for these alpha binoculars. Field of view is incredible. Absolutely love them and no regrets.

The new NL barrel design with the ingenious dent in the middle is very ergonomic. I prefer this one-bridge design for its simplicity. Love the simple aesthetic and the minimalistic front eye caps that attach to the body of the binoculars rather than having a clumsy rubber O-ring that will move around.

Minor negatives: I bought an initial model that had a faint rattle, which was surprising. I called Swarovksi support and B&H and ultimately exchanged which was very easy, quick, and problem was solved. Only minor gripe is that on the ocular lens side, the outer rubber ring is a little shallow unless I rotate it back one click. I wear glasses and the plastic rim of my glasses occasionally gently contacts the middle metal ring surrounding the ocular lens (not the actual lens). Rotating back a click solves this at the expense of 2 mm of eye relief, which is not a big deal. I am splitting hairs because this is a fantastic instrument that I have already had many hours of enjoyment with.

I went to B&H in person and spent a long time checking out competing models from Zeiss & Leica & Nikon and both the optics and the ergonomics, I felt, were far superior in the Swaro NL. It just clicked the moment I tried them. Preferred the 32 mm size/portability as a trade off for slightly dimmer view in extreme hours of the day or great shade. The smaller size lets me use them more and can more easily travel with them.

Last note: B&H is incredible, have used them for over 20 years.

[Men's XXXL] Swarovski TC Trucker Cap has a nice simple style. The look of a patch sewn on the front of the hat. The patch has a felt feel to it. I like the green color of the hat, with the mesh backing in black matching the black patch. Hat is very comfortable to wear. High quality hat / Swarovski Quality.
Thank you B&H for the fast shipping!

[Men's XXXL] Crystal clear, wide FOV, The new contoured barrels fit the hand well. 8x32 is a great size for portability...fast shipping.

[Men's XXXL] Awesome hat especially if you have a larger head. High quality like usual from Swarovski

[Organic Cotton] My Swarovski 8x32 NL Binoculars are incredible. Let me tell you, it's a whole new world when looking through these lenses! And so light and easy to carry. Brian M.

[Organic Cotton] I purchased these for my wife because she had shoulder surgery and could no longer hold heavier binoculars. Their resolution and field of view are truly amazing. Colors are outstanding! Yes, they are expensive! However, I have no question that you get what you pay for! If you can afford them, go for it. You will not be disappointed.

[Men's XXXL] When I am around serious birders, Swarovski is what they all use. and the 12*50 is particularly popular for bringing distance subjects as close as possible. Our other pair has served us for fifteen years with no issues, and we look forward to using this pair for the rest of our birding lives.

[Men's XXXL] I just returned from a Coues Whitetail hunt in southern Arizona. I had a chance to use these outstanding binoculars for two days of hunting. I have other Swarovski products and they are the best that I have used in my 60 years of hunting experience! These 12x50 are by far the best of the best. I was able to see things more clearly right before dark than I have ever before . The detail was simply amazing. I used them mostly with a tripod but I tried them without. I couldn’t believe I could see so clearly without the tripod. They were just a little bit shaky but I could still see a lot of detail holding them by hand. The only thing that I’m not crazy about is the neck strap system. But, this a very minor complaint. I would recommend these binoculars to any outdoor enthusiast. I’m also a avid bird watcher and can’t wait to try them out for this activity.

[Green] Amazing. Exceeding my expectations for quality, clarity and ease of use. And believe me I had high expectations to start with..

[Men's XXXL] Ive been looking for a bag that I can carry a spotting scope in- that would also house my SLR camera and lens. This bag is legit- and wish I would have found out about it sooner. It is a bit more than other bags, but is worth the cost. Typical Swarovski product, so the quality, abilities, and materials are thought about and top notch!
