Ideal for use in wide open and expansive terrain, like the plains of the American West, where observing game and other subjects at extreme long distances is common, the Swarovski 12x42 NL Pure Binocular boasts an ultra-wide field of view and exceptional eye relief in a compact magnesium housing. The NL Pure further employs extra-low dispersion (HD) glass elements and a range of proprietary optical coatings that, when combined with its other performance features, creates a set of glasses that delivers impressive image quality and durability. In keeping with it's 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.
