The Leica Noctivid 10x42 offers binoculars exceptional detail rendition, excellent stray light suppression, high contrast, and fine detail resolution, even under the most difficult light conditions. A short close focus range ensures richly detailed images just like in a large format, and a generous field of view provides a wide overview at greater distances. 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.
Optical Performance
- High 10x magnification which enables detailed observations of distant subjects
- 42mm objective lenses to improve light-gathering ability for enhanced low-light performance such as at dawn and dusk or when peering into dense brush
- Compact roof prism optical path helps to maintain a compact form factor for easier handling
- SCHOTT HT (High Transmission) glass and 12 lens elements ensure accurate colour rendition with limited distortion
- Multi-layer high-temperature plasma anti-reflection lens coating deposition process ensures balanced light transmission across the entire visible spectrum
- P40 phase-correcting prism coatings increases the light transmission while improving contrast and clarity
- HighLux-System (HLS) maximizes light throughput to improve colour rendition and contrast
- Internal baffle system reduces scattered light, which can interfere with contrast, colour, and clarity
- Hydrophobic AquaDura coatings on external optical surfaces allow dirt, dust, and fingerprints to be removed easily
- Lens design and integrated field flatteners, used to reduce spherical aberration and distortion across the entire field of view for edge-to-edge sharpness
- Wide 64° apparent angle of view helps minimizes the appearance of the distracting hand shake that is common when holding high-power optics, while presenting a spacious and immersive observational experience
- 337' field of view at 1000 yards
Use and Handling
- The Open-bridge/Dual-hinge configuration provides additional gripping surface area for better handling
- Large slip-resistant center focusing wheel is easy to manipulate in cold and wet weather
- 56-74mm adjustable interpupillary distance allows easy use for a wide variety of people
- ±4 right-eye dioptric correction range enables users to compensate for individual optical prescriptions for tack-sharp images
- Twist-out 4-position click-stop eyecups designed for comfortable usage with or without eyewear
- Long 19mm eye relief ensures comfortable use with reduced eye strain, especially during long glassing sessions
- 4.2mm exit pupil will cover most pupils when they open and dilate in low-light to ensure the entire scene stays in view without vignetting
