Sporting an ultrawide field of view, long eye relief, and wide exit pupil—all in a compact magnesium housing—the Swarovski 8x42 NL Pure Binoculars have extra-low dispersion (HD) glass elements and a range of proprietary optical coatings to deliver impressive image quality and durability. In keeping with its tradition of high-performance optics, Swarovski uses highly reflective roof prisms and fully multicoated fluorite-containing HD glass lenses to deliver superior image quality. A field-flattener lens system complements the glass and coatings to keep the edges of the view crisp and sharp. The resulting views are rich with detail and saturated with lifelike color with exceptional contrast and resolution.
In addition to its high-transmission optical system, Swarovski also equips the NL Pure binoculars with a range of features that improve the handling experience. A reengineered bridge and focus system provide smooth movement in a short configuration, so you have more of the optical tubes to grip. Covering the magnesium-alloy housing is Swarovski's iconic rubber armoring that provides impact protection and a positive grip where they are needed most. The housing is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof to a depth of 13 feet and resistant to internal fogging. Additional features like tethered front and rear caps, a carrying case, and a neck strap round out the thoughtful details that make the NL Pure stand out.
- Moderate 8x magnification brings subjects in close for observation while preserving the ultrawide field of view, comfortable exit pupil, and exceptional eye relief
- 42mm objective lenses draw in the light required for use in challenging conditions without being too bulky or heavy
- Compact roof prism light path keeps the optical tubes thin for easier handling and packing
- Field-flattener lenses eliminate spherical aberration and edge distortion while correcting off-axis comas and astigmatism for crisp and sharp images across the entire field of view
- HD Optical System: Fluorite-containing glass virtually eliminates chromatic aberrations to enhance color fidelity and brightness
- Ultrawide 69° apparent angle of view presents sweeping views of the scene in front of you, providing an immersive and near panoramic observational experience that requires very little head movement to see everything
- Spacious 477' field of view at 1000 yards
