Bruce also noted something similar.A bit more practice with the Noctivid and the vignetting has all but disappeared leaving monstrously lush and effortlessly vivid images. Like many binoculars, the trick was learning to negotiate my facial anatomy and it's accompanying features such as an excessively simian brow bone. I'ts slightly amusing...after viewing through the Noctivid, I'm finding the images through the SV and SF to be akin to viewing an ultra high definition placard or billboard....until I introduce even slight angular motion and all hell breaks loose with the familiar yet bizarre matrix of distortions one must endure in order to witness a compressed and flat stationary image. I'm salivating at the prospect of a 7x42 Noctivid.Rathaus</blockquote>
