Frequently asked questions
What's the 'NL' and 'Pure' in the name?
NL stands for the new 'revolutionary' line Swarovski introduced around 2020, replacing their earlier EL line at the flagship level. 'Pure' indicates the range's focus on optical purity and wide field of view. The NL Pure is their flagship binocular.
Why 52mm rather than 42mm?
52mm objectives deliver a 5.2mm exit pupil at 10x (52mm / 10x) compared to 4.2mm with 42mm - noticeably brighter in low light (dawn, dusk). At the cost of extra weight and size, you get meaningfully improved dim-light performance.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
