    Picture about Leica 3D and Plasticity.

    This is a perfect sample about the Leica 3D and plasticity. Leica M9 and Leica APO Summicron 90mm ASPH. And this is what i can see with the NV and there is no other binocular who makes it. Just only my Zeiss Oberkochen 10x50 have it. The picture is mine so fell free to download and check it.
