Leica Noctivid 8x42 Green
The Essentials:
- focusing on even the smallest details thanks to 10-fold magnification
- suppression of stray light and maximum contrast allows for observations of the smallest structures under challenging conditions
- fatigue-free, relaxed observing thanks to compact construction and ideal weight distribution
- limited edition
More than a century of expertise in optical design, microscopes and cameras are the basis upon which Leica has created a new generation of Leica binoculars: the Noctivid.
The Leica Noctivid glasses are compact in size, stylish, and elegant, but nevertheless unbelievably robust and resilient. Ideal for every walk of life, these binoculars set new standards with their design alone. The binocular tubes can be easily grasped with one hand and, thanks to the short construction length, the weight is centered on the palm and allows for fatigue-free observing.
The rubber armoring has an outstanding grip, absorbs impacts, prevents slipping, and simultaneously lends the body of the binoculars a wonderfully comfortable feel. A patented, hardness class 8 surface coating provides additional protection for all exposed metal surfaces of the robust magnesium body.
The real milestones, however, are set by the mechanical and optical design of this Leica family of binoculars. They unite the best of the latest and most innovative technologies to create a new pinnacle of excellence. SCHOTT HTTM (High Transmission) glasses - already used in the Leica Ultravid HD-Plus optical design - ensure amazingly brilliant colors and high transmission. Innovative baffle systems for the suppression of stray light guarantee an optimum reduction of reflections and maximum contrast.
