Leica Noctivid 8x42 design flaws and review - owners please check
Thanks for the final assessment Tobias. Always interesting to read other peoples opinions. You seem to have found many reasons to justify the above for yourself! ;) -
Leica Noctivid 8x42 design flaws and review - owners please check
Thank you , Henry and Holger, for your much valued input. My amateur interpretation of recent posts is that it's easy to draw inaccurate conclusions from looking down the wrong end of a binocular - unless you really know what your looking at and the design principles of that binocular, and... -
