    Noctivid 10x42 (Black)

    Posted by James Jacquin on Sep 15th 2024

    I have just recently bought a pair of 10x42 Noctivids. To start, the build quality on these is just outstanding, everything from the fit and finish to its anesthetic appeal and the most comfortable eye cups of any binoculars I've ever used, all are really top notch! As for the view I would call it crystalline, color saturated and to me razor sharp almost out to the edge. I've used both a pair of Zeiss Victory SF & Nikon Porros SE, both 10x42 to compare. Both are superb instruments in their own right, but, I found the Noctivid noticeably sharper & clearer. In fairness they also have a little off axis CA, but to my eyes far less than critics had led me to believe. And in reality I was not at all contemplating buying the Noctivids until I had a pair of their superb, Leica Ultravid HD-Plus, 7x42. It was then that I fell in love with the "Leica View", not because of any branding or marketing but because of the view alone which was outstanding. The Noctivids being noticeably better & a perceptible improvement. I've also read a lot of blather about how Leica hasn't introduced any innovations or offered multiple & total revamping of their whole binocular line. That's actually patently untrue & further maybe Leica doesn't have to completely remake their binoculars every few years because they've already got it right. Just my opinion. Thank you Leica for the beautiful views & enhancement of my birding experiences.
