In the Noctivid binoculars, the excellent optical performance that Leica HD-Plus binoculars are known for, has been improved even more. The brilliant image is even sharper and richer in contrast. In addition to the Schott HT glass for the prisms, the anti-reflective coatings have been optimized. These coatings are applied on all lenses and prisms in the new high-temperature plasma process. Thanks to all these improvements, the whole visible spectrum of light is transmitted through the binoculars almost without loss. The colour rendition of the Noctivid binoculars is therefore extraordinarily close to the point of absolute colour neutrality (achromatic point). Thanks to the 10x magnification, the Leica Noctivid 10x42 offers the best detail rendition. The excellent stray light suppression and high contrasts guarantee the finest detail resolution even under the most difficult light conditions. The short close focus range ensures richly detailed images just like in a large format, and the generous field of view provides a wide overview at greater distances. The compact dimensions and the perfect balance ensure a fatigue-free and relaxed viewing experience. A non-slip rubber armouring gives the binoculars a comfortable feel, and the highly durable patented special varnish provides additional protection for the metal surfaces of the robust magnesium housing.
