True. I wish I never heard about chromatic abberation.Yes, but you might notice a weakness in a binocular if somebody else points it out that you didn't notice before. It happens to me all the time.

You're better off not to know about CA because once you see it it will bother you all the time.True. I wish I never heard about chromatic abberation.
Not even a little bit true, but with your obsessive personality I could see it as applicable in your mind.You're better off not to know about CA because once you see it it will bother you all the time.

Красиви цветове, контраст и никакви аберации. Скоро бих си купил Leica NV 8x42!
I am starting to think about them as a little ‘highly-strung’ like a thoroughbred racehorse – capable of superb performance but ‘right on the edge’ and therefore needing careful handling and so a little less relaxed to use than the alternatives as result.
Hello,So I would prefer less CA on the edge of the field and for it not to pop up very occasionally in the centre on very high-contrast edges, and more relaxed eye positioning - but I suspect that without those you would not get the extreme sharpness and class-leading contrast and colour. I put it like this to someone recently:
This is an old thread, so maybe too late, but please, don’t go looking for CA. Just continue to use and enjoy your fine binoculars. You could drive yourself crazy, obsessing over minute faults which every binocular has somewhere. It sounds like the Noctovids are perfect for you, just enjoy them.I did as you said (roof line), I failed to notice much… I did notice how much CA my old monarchs had when comparing back and forth though. Anyways I just wanted to make this post to say that after everything I read it’s really blown out of proportion, to my eyes it’s really nothing… maybe some people can see CA better than I.
As far as the weight, It’s 30 oz, but you are right they are a tank…. I imagine compromising weight means compromising glass and therefore coatings so I am more than happy to Cary a few oz extra for that extra special image. I put them on a marsupial bino chest pack so they are not bothering me at all in terms of weight.
Thanks for chiming in, I read a lot of your previous posts prior to purchasing
