Oh my, that is one nice-looking binocular. Not sure my computer screen captures the color just right, but if it does...YUM!! Yeah, that's nothing like Swaro green.

And the overall design is just pure Leica class! Gotta take a look through these.

The consensus seems to be that if you get olive green colour, then looking at them would be sufficient!

I'm totally seduced. If Leica came out with an olive 8x50/8x56 Noctivid I'd jump right in bed with a pair.

Henry, I'm awaiting your review of the Swarovski SLC 8x56.

You don't have to wait for that one.

The new color carries a $50 premium over the black models in the US.

Here is the Leica press release from March, 2018 ......

Good heavens - the Leica press team got really carried away on that release... This particularly caught my eye;
"Construction and optics have been inspired by the best observers from the animal kingdom."

Does this mean that the optics are modelled on those found in the eyes of a Golden Eagle or a Cheetah, or what?

I think that although there is of course hype, these kinds of texts often sound stranger in English than they did in German prior to translation, or if they've been written by someone who's first language is not English.

Leica Olive

Does this look Olive green to you, compare what Leica depicts on their computer simulated graphics and this pic. The Zeiss 8X42 FL looks more olive green to me. I think the green color will change over time. I bought the FL used and got it back from Zeiss repair service in Germany, good as new.

Sure - I appreciate that, and if their press release had just said, "Like the black ones, but green." it would have made for pretty boring reading. |;|
