Been leaning towards the 12x42 NLP but the 10x50 NLP's are tempting. Not sure I'd like giving up the 12 magnification for the extra 10-15 minutes of use at night. Anyone have experience with both?
thanks,

My decision was based on use…meaning glassing from a tripod or handheld. Since most of my glassing is done handheld I went with the 10s.Been leaning towards the 12x42 NLP but the 10x50 NLP's are tempting.

How do your Leica's (I don't know which model you have), compare against the NL Pure's, in glass quality/clarity?No experience, been a Leica guy as I get a pro deal, but after looking through my neighbors 12x42 Pure's, been thinking I had to try some. I've been using the 12x50 Leica's. The 12x42's are much lighter and easier to hold. Think that's the way I'll go, thanks.
I'd get the 12s today if I could afford them. They'll be lighter, easier to handle. Your eyes won't know the difference if you have 42 or 50 mm objectives at dusk and dawn.Been leaning towards the 12x42 NLP but the 10x50 NLP's are tempting.

Leica's are good, they're the Ultravid and they don't make the Noctavid in 12x50, ordered up the 12x42 NLP today, $2750 shipped, no tax, then I'll do a side by side comparison. I still have the 12x50 Leica's here at the house so I'll mess around with both this weekend. Hopefully the glass is a little better, but at the level of the Leica and Swaro's, I'm sure both are good.How do your Leica's (I don't know which model you have), compare against the NL Pure's, in glass quality/clarity?

Who are you ordering the Pures through?I'll have all 7 of them hopefully soon to be ae to compare all of them. The 10x52s are still backordered I've been waiting on for more than 3 months already. I got notification the 14x52 just arrived and will be shipping out soon.
The brand new 10x32 I bought appears to be defective with a focus knob that feels like a typical Vanguard ED in need of immediate warranty straight out of the box.
Take advantage of their 75th Anniversary sale. You only live once.
I was going to add several Zeiss Victory SFs but the dealer told me since I bought all of the NL Pure models I'd probably won't like the Zeiss Victory SF which they also sell and the glass cannot be compared.
