12x50 els or 12x42 nl pure

[Djaworow]

I love my 12x50 els but Ive toyed around with switching them out for 12x42 nl pures...should i pull the trigger or keep what i have?

If you love your 12x50's why are you "toying around with switching them"?

In the same spot.

smaller, lighter weight, newest technology, larger FOV...fomo on possibly loving them more than 12x50 els haha just always thinking about newest and greatest equipment

I'm in the same boat and I want to switch as well.
Everyone says the NL are better.
Just need to find someone to buy my 12s so I can upgrade.

Funny, I currently have 10/42s and 15/56s in Zeiss Conquest. Love the quality but leaning towards getting one set. Either 12/42 or 12/50s. Sounds like you guys recommend 12/42s. I live in BC

Don’t own the 12/42 pures a buddy does. Best bino I’ve ever look through, sweet piece of glass

Have both currently in my safe, the nls live in my bino pouch now and the ELs are in the safe. Don't get me wrong, I love my EL's, just love my NL's more.

I love this answer and I hope you bought some pures. Life is short, rock what you want!

So I guess I’m bored. But 5 years ago or so I invested a good chunk of $ to purchase (then resell) a dozen or so $1000 binos and then eventually a few of the same in spotters and wrote some bro level, objective as possible, comparisons. I know we see a lot of these online by folks who have way...

Pending weather comparing directly and objectively as possible this weekend.
