    Noctivid 8x42 is here

    It's true, even though I had to get my Noctivids and try out for myself to see. Like you I never noticed this 'rubbing' in the last two years I owned the glass!

    Noctivid 8x42 is here

    Strange, no matter how hard I try, I can't get my covers to smudge the objective lenses of my Noctivid 8x42.

    Green Noctivid

    Not wearing camouflage in real life, I would still buy the NV even if they were fluorescent pink.

    My Noctivid are Back !!!!!!..........

    Same here, I would have never noticed it had I not read this topic. It has no effect as far as I know on the performance of my Noctivid but I’ll keep an eye on it. It seems a bit of a shame to disassemble an otherwhise perfectly functioning pair of binoculars for a bit of play that is part of...

    Leica's Noctivid and 3D

    Not sure I agree. Before falling in love with the 8x Noctivid 3D, I owned both old and new Trinovids, and two three different Ultravids. None comes close to the Noctivid 3D view. Others here have similar experience. So I doubt the hypotheses that we are used to flat fields, or at least, you...

    Leica Trinovid worth it ?

    Why not buy a lightly used Ultravid? Seems good value. I'm usually not a fan of buying second hand, but my 2 year old Ultravid still looks as if it came right out of the box, you really need to abuse these bins to degrade their performance. So provided you can inspect the specimen before buying...

    Leica Trinovid worth it ?

    You missed mine for which was advertised for 699 and eventually sold for 750! Demand was suprisingly great. I might sell my UltravidHD shortly ;)

    Please compare the 2012-2015 Trinovid to the new Trinovid HD

    I'm a little surprised you prefer the Trinovid over the brighter UltravidHD.

    Bird or Bino?

    Some tools become jewels though. Look at any high end watch, how many Rolex owners actually dive deep or drive sports cars around a track? A great tool will have appeal beyond its originally intended use.

    Noctivid overdrive past infinity

    Noctivid testing in shiny weather

    Does it matter if it is not measurable?

    Noctivid testing in shiny weather

    Interesting, surprising even considering the heated debate with the 3D-deniers a couple of weeks ago:t:

    So I was wondering ?

    Yawn. Nobody recognizes my Rolex Explorer, other than fellow watch enthousiasts. I wear it for myself and nobody else. So far for the 'bling' aspect. Value for money-wise, any Casio will beat a Rolex in the same way as a Polaroid picture will beat a Picasso. Good luck with the discussion :)
