    Noctivid 10x42 vs Ultravid HD+ 10x50

    Mike, I just do not use the 10X42 format much, I am sure the Noctivid is better than the Trinovid 40009, it is afterall a premium glass, not mid range. The EDG is still a great 10X42 (great edge sharpness along with the EL SV) as is the FL as a great all around glass ,so while I have these in...

    Noctivid 10x42 vs Ultravid HD+ 10x50

    I have over 50 bins, I have tried them, and I prefer the 50mm aperture, that is just me. Not to knock the Noctivid 10X owners, but to my eyes I prefer the 10X50 EL SV, UVHD+, FL 10X56, and the SLC 10X56. I have the EDG, FL, HG, SE and Leica (2012-2015) in 10X42, they will suffice. Just to add...

    Noctivid 10x42 vs Ultravid HD+ 10x50

    I will take a 10X50 UVHD+ over any 10X42, sorry, my eyes see it differently. Andy W.

    Noctivid 10x42 vs Ultravid HD+ 10x50

    Mike, Some like the UV HD+ 10X50 as I do. It seems that you are trying to rationalize that the Noctivid is better, and it likely is better FOR YOU, however some who are comfortable with a bit more weight prefer a premium 10X50 for the views it provides for THEM. There is not one better than...

    Noctivid 10x42 vs Ultravid HD+ 10x50

    Massive size is a subjective opinion for the 10X50HD+, this glass is why I have so little use for 10X42s, they are the easiest/lightest premium 10X50 made today along with the EL SV 10X50. I think years ago a large objective view glass (10X50s) during the day were dim and really heavy, not with...

    Noctivid 10x42 vs Ultravid HD+ 10x50

    I own the HD in 8X42 and 12X50 new after comparing them to the HD+, no CA for me, MY EYES, so over $1500 in savings. Could not be more happy with them. Andy W.

    Noctivid 10x42 vs Ultravid HD+ 10x50

    Razor6, I have the 10X50 BA, UV BR, and the UV HD+, the BR 10X50 has about the same as the BA, but the HD+ to me CA is negligible. Another person who has the HD+10X50 is Canip, perhaps he can provide some insight. I think in relation to CA, the HD and HD+ models were improved in the handling...

    Noctivid 10x42 vs Ultravid HD+ 10x50

    I would try the HD+ 10X50, it is the one glass that provides SV views with out the flat field/panning/RB issues, but I would try before you buy, at these $$$, highly necessary. Personally I get much more pleasure viewing with 10X50+ than any 10X42 especially for long distance viewing sessions...

    Noctivid 10x42 vs Ultravid HD+ 10x50

    Resolution of the UV 10X50 will be better than the NV 10X42. Andy W.
