    Leica's Noctivid and 3D

    Globetrotter, Jezus, post 197, With respect to the Noctivid color representation: I also checked that with both eyes together and independently, but in all cases the image was slightly red. If I compared the primary colors like blue, yellow and red with the naked eye and with the Noctivid, the...

    Leica's Noctivid and 3D

    Tobias, post 192, I did not see a slightly yellow preference in thee UV+ and on the basis of the transmission spectra I did not expect one. As I wrote the spectra of the UV+ and the Noctivids are almost identical within experimental error. Gijs van Ginkel (I hope that the spectra are going...

    Leica's Noctivid and 3D

    Globetrotter, post 184, I have investigated the Noctivids in comparison with Swarovsi SLC, EL-SV and the Zeiss SF and HT (and I also compared them with the Utravid HD-plus). The color representation of the Noctivids shows no difference with that of the Ultravid HD-plusses and that is not so...

    Leica's Noctivid and 3D

    Dear all, In my post 64 I have given three examples of 3D observations and if we look at the definition of 3D in the Oxford dictionary, it says:"having or appearing to have lenght, breadth and depth". The unaided eye, being on average 65 mm apart, takes care of observations that have a 3D...

    Leica's Noctivid and 3D

    Ed, post 67, I will try your suggested experiment, but it has to wait until I start further investigation of the Noctivid (I do not have it at the moment and all models that were available when we had time went back to Leica, since they had problems with free play between both binocular tubes)...

    Leica's Noctivid and 3D

    Dalat, post 72, I have written in a much earlier post, when comparing the Noctivid with the Swarovski SLC, both 8x42, that I see no difference really except that the SLC is brighter. Both do not show the 3D effect as I have described in my post 64 under nrs. 1-3. So we are circling around the 3D...

    Leica's Noctivid and 3D

    Dalat, post 65, I never observed a 3D effect with the Noctivid as described in examples 1-3 in my post 64, so I do not know what brings you to the statement, that I did see 3D with the Noctivid. Gijs van Ginkel

    Leica's Noctivid and 3D

    Ed, post 62, Yes, I was analysing the picture, but I have also looked through the Noctivid and the view is quite different from the ones for example like: -1-using a so-called Viewmaster were you get to see a picture with two eyes and the images are more or less a bit separated from each other...

    Leica's Noctivid and 3D

    Ed, post 53, No I described what I see in the picture we were discussing and the depth of field is what I see, and something similar is happening when I make a photograph with a wide-angle lens as compared with a telephotolens. Gijs van Ginkel

    Leica's Noctivid and 3D

    Ed, post 32, when I wrote "depth sharpness" I meant that the picture shown is sharp from (estimate) 1-5 meters. Does that clarify the "new concept"? In Dutch it would be "scherptediepte". I tested my brain over and over, but the one-eye 3D observation in the picture we are discussing does not...

    Leica's Noctivid and 3D

    Canip, You are quite right, I should have dived to a depth of 10 meters and have a good view through the binoculars. What I have missed as yet in the whole discussion of the new Leica Noctivid, is to compliment Sigrun Kammans, the optical designer of Leica and Stephan Albrecht, the produkt...

    Leica's Noctivid and 3D

    Dear gentlemen, I have looked with my left eye, with my right eye, with both eyes, standing on my head with the same experimental set-up, asked my colleagues to do the same and the very nice picture in post 4 with quite a bit of depth sharpness does not show any changes. So I am very happy, that...
