Further details come to light .....
Looks like these new "NoctiVid's" will be wide angle 42mm bins. They will have 100% internally reflecting Perger prisms of ultra-low inclusion HT glass, the best synthetic fluorite FPL-53 thin lens design glass objectives, and HT and FPL-53 glass further sprinkled throughout the optical train which includes field flattening elements. :king:
The sharp to the edges view has a distortion profile that will thankfully more resemble the critically acclaimed Nikon EDG, rather than the polarizing 'Wetzlar Wobble', and the light transmission will be a genuine up to and more than 96%, with the Hi-Lux coatings retuned for a table top flat curve giving neutral colour rendition, and completely true whites. o
CA control will set a new Alpha benchmark, ER will be a handy 18mm, glare control typically Leica top notch and also setting a new mark to beat, the armour will be dual density rubber as standard which will be firmly attached to the body. Special edition perforated kangaroo leather models in a range of fashionable colours will follow at a later date. Noice. :t:
The body will be the big story - even with the usual for Leica Titanium shafts, all that high quality glass has required the move to a lightweight CFRP (Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic) chassis. Collectively, Birders, HunTers, and Renaissance Futurists everywhere rejoiced - yay!! o
, that somebody has finally seen the light and offered binoculars both lighter and stronger than the anachronistic Mg alloy behemoths ..... :cat: :t:
A MRRP price of less than <$2500 will be the icing on the cake! :eat:
Looks like the SV, and the even lower rated SF are going to have to lift their acts ...... there's a new :king: in town! :t:
Chosun :gh:
