Leica Noctivid 10x42 Binos

[NascarManiac]

Hey everyone,
Received my Leica Noctivid's 10x42 from Omer @ Precision Optics (always a pleasure doing business with him)the other day and have had some time to really get out and use them. While i don't pretend to be a binocular expert in any form, I've always appreciated good glass in hunting situations with all of the rifle scopes I have purchased throughout the years.
These binoculars are fantastic, super bright, clear, and yes they seem to have a 3D type of effect while focusing on birds, trees, objects, etc. The focus wheel is smooth and responsive.
Please give these a "look" if you're in the market for a set of "lifetime" bino's!
Now it's time to look for some 8x32's
Again, thanks to Omer for hooking me up!

Always nice to here reviews on top notch glass. Any chance of some pics with them in your hands so we can judge size. What did you have before these noctovids.

Do I have to become a team member to add photos to this post? There is no option for me add��
I have had Bushnell Elite ED, Nikon Monarch and Vortex Razor HD binos which were all fine but these Noctivids are a big step up for sure.

No need to be team member to add pics. Use the attach pic button. It the third from the right in the tool bar.......looks like a picture frame

Those look really nice. Did you look through any othe high end glass before purchasing? Why Leica over other brands? I'm a bit of an optics nerd....... would love to look through a pair. I currently have Swaro EL 10x42. I never looked through any others and wish I did. Not that the EL's are bad.......there great but I would have liked to compare.

Sorry for the rant. You got some really nice binoculars for sure!

How do things look when panning? Any rolling-ball effect with those?

I had a chance to look thru the swarovski el's and they were great, however, I thought the noctivid images just popped more. Hard to explain unless you see it for yourself. No rolling ball effect either.
