There is something special in the image quality of the Noctivid, something inherited from the optical characteristics of the legendary leica M lenses.
The great microcontrast and contrast,sharpness and plasticity of image together with an exceptional color quality and veil glare flare suppression.
I have the SV Filed pro 10x50 which is a formidable binocular but side by side the SV view is absolutely perfect but lacking of Life, like a perfect projection in front of your eyes with a flat view while the vision through the noctivid is more enveloping there is more separation of planes, less white optical veil and better contrast and color.
The SV FP is much better in color reproduction than early SV, Coatings are different and inside barrels darker instead of previous satin gray paint but the NV colours are absolutely exquisite.
If the open bridge design and flat field optics of swarovski was the way to follow for the other manufactures now the amazing suppression stray light of NV must be the target for Zeiss and Swaro in their next designs.
