The Leica Noctivid 8x42mm Green Binoculars represents the perfect combination of form and function in a single optic. It is designed with an array of complementary technologies to produce bright and clear color-neutral images, while fitting comfortably in the hand for long, fatigue-free glassing sessions.
The Noctivid's performance starts with the use of SCHOTT High Transmission glass with a 12-element lens configuration and their HighLux-System anti-reflection multi-coatings, followed by phase-corrected compact roof prisms. These features produce bright and clear high-contrast images with accurate color rendition across the entire visible spectrum. Internal baffles limit scattered light in the optical tubes, which can affect clarity and contrast, while an innovative lens design and internal field flatteners ensure edge-to-edge clarity across the entire wide-angle field of view. The wide viewing angle and relatively low 8x magnification provide sweeping panoramic views that draw you in for a truly immersive observational experience.
The Noctivid is made with a dual-hinge/open-bridge that provides added gripping surface area while reducing the overall weight without sacrificing strength or stability. Its chassis is made of a lightweight and strong magnesium alloy that, when combined with the bridge configuration, further reduces the weight while shifting the center of gravity to the natural hand position, which translates to an improved handling experience with greatly reduced fatigue, allowing you to hold the binocular for extended periods of time. To withstand the rigors of extensive outdoor use, all of the metal surfaces are treated with a proprietary varnish coating to resist corrosion and wear and the optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be fogproof, waterproof, and submersible.
Key Feature of the Leica Noctivid 8x42mm Green Binoculars
Moderate 8x power magnifies views while helping to maintain a wide exit pupil and long eye relief
42mm objective lenses improve light-gathering ability for enhanced low-light performance such as at dawn and dusk or when peering into dense brush
SCHOTT HT (High Transmission) glass and 12 lens elements ensure accurate color 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 increase light transmission while improving contrast and clarity
HighLux-System (HLS) maximizes light throughput to improve color rendition and contrast
Internal baffle system reduces scattered light, which can interfere with contrast, color, and clarity
Hydrophobic AquaDura coatings on external optical surfaces allow dirt, dust, and fingerprints to be removed easily
Lens design and integrated field flatteners reduce spherical aberration and distortion across the entire field of view for edge-to-edge sharpness
Wide 62° apparent angle of view produces a spacious view and an immersive observational experience
Generous 135 m field of view at 1000 meters
Use and Handling
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, or while wearing gloves
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 for comfortable use with or without eyewear
Long 19mm eye relief ensures comfortable use with reduced eye strain, especially during long glassing sessions
Wide 5.2mm exit pupil will completely cover pupils when they are open and fully dilated in low light to ensure the entire scene stays in view without vignetting
Construction Details
Bridge design helps to reduce overall weight without sacrificing strength or stability
Lightweight and durable magnesium alloy chassis
Protective olive green rubberized armoring provides a slip-resistant grip in all weather conditions
Nitrogen filled for fogproof performance, especially when moving through extreme temperature changes and environmental conditions
O-ring sealed to be submersible to 5m
Proprietary varnish coating protects metal surfaces from corrosion and wear
