Sell Pures to keep Noctivids?

[ahansel]

I'm just about to squeeze the trigger on selling my Swaro 10x42 NL Pures ... to keep my Leica Noctivid 10x42s.

Anyone have any last minute reasons why I should reconsider???

Below are my reasons for keeping the Noctivids over the Pures. It's not an in-depth review, just what I've noticed using both. I've had each pair out scouting and harvesting several animals, so this is just what I've noticed from having each binoculars for 2 hunting seasons.

Pros for the Pures
-Field of view is noticeably larger (it might even be too much FOV, for my eyes I can't even scan to the edge of the FOV when they're on a tripod and eyecups all the way down)
-Feel lighter in the hand and on the chest

Pros for the Noctivids
-To me, the image & color contrast is sharper.
-Glare control is much better than the Pures. In the morning/evenings when the sun is right on the horizon the Pures have pretty bad glare compared to the Noctivids ... this is the main reason I prefer the Noctivids

Don't listen for other peoples opinions is my advice. Everyone has different eyes- you've had both out in the field and drawn a conclusion on what matters to you. Stick with it

My eyes prefer Leica over swaro.
It’s personal preference when you get into swaro, Leica, zeiss

Agreed, listen to your eyes and how the binos fit your face, for me I always end up returning to my Leicas, , they have that special sauce..
