    Noctivid 8x42 is here

    How are your sure yours had no problem? Was collimation as lined as good as your friends and did you have the diopter set on both for your eyes? I find that to be very odd. A group of us had tested five or six UVHD’s half MIG and the others MIP and no one out of a group could see any optical...

    The 42 ultravids are very compact and the 32’s are tiny. The Ultravids actually are fatter than the Nocs.

    I’m making revision to my post #19. #19. “The Nocs and the EDG’s are the only two binoculars that I can spend hours observing without eye fatigue” There are more than two I can spend hours without much fatigue, all of the 42 Ultravids, Nikon MHG’s, E2’s and the HR5 Swift Audubons ( the...

    Noctivid 8x42 is here

    I enjoyed side by side comparisons with the Nocs , SF’s, NL’s and Ultravids, all in 10x and 8x, as well as the EDG in 8x. The 10x Nocs have slightly more CA, but that is true for the Ultravids as well, not anything bad, not a deal breaker unless your super sensitive. Also the DOF on 10x is...

    Noctivid 8x42 is here

    That is one review on the Nocs that I disagreed with quite a bit, except on build quality, somewhat on the double bridge design and his opinion on colour neutrality. I had five people on three occasions with the 8x42 Nocs, one 8x42 UVHD+ and one non plus UV as well as the SF. Nobody had the...

    Noctivid 8x42 is here

    Yeah I see that , I did miss read it. I feel all the ultravids lean more to a Nikon color saturation, EDG. My eyes are feeling a more neutral color leaning in the Nocs ,somewhere between the ultravids and the NLs. I found that to be true with the whole ultravid line and the 8x and 10x Nocs...

    Noctivid 8x42 is here

    I think Andreas covered a lot of ground here, I’ll throw in my two cents for what it’s worth. I’ll dispense first on build quality. My impressions are that Leica gets better and better and Zeiss goes the other way (sorry Zeiss guys). As with the UVHD’s the Nocs feel a little more smooth and...

    Noctivid 8x42 is here

    Those are two different animals. Leica build/image or FOV (SF, NL) you’ll never be satisfied with one because they are so different in multiple ways. It’s not just build or FOV, it’s 42 and 32, it’s modern design ergos and traditional style/feel. Either Leica will need to come up with a wide FOV...
