Great write up and pics/vids ??
It’s very “clear” in these that filmless is not just hype even against a high spec thin filmed tube. |

I was really wondering how one of the high spec thin films would hold up - but I’m glad I had the L3 to compare to. |

Both look very nice and I'm sure you're happy with either for the price you paid. I would be lol
|

I wonder how much of that difference is the ebi vs the film. Probably both.

The differences is darkness of trees in the distance is what stands out to me when I'm comparing things, like photonis vs L3uf. Pretty clear in your photos which is which in those areas. Otherwise tough to spot other things right now in the pictures. That FPN would bug me though - dunno why it seems to be so acceptable in the L3 tubes :(

Considering OP paid the same for each then it’s a toss up to me, end of the day congrats OP you got two awesome tubes! |

Nice comparison. Thanks for doing this. Both excellent tubes. The filmless definitely is sharper. Would you say the FPN is very noticeable in actual use?
|

Great comparison.
This is actually making me think that I got a really good deal on my Omni VII. I know the view is better with a naked eye but I now have experience with using a high end smartphone (Pixel 3 XL in my case) with a tube, so I sort of understand the translation. My takeaway is that you’re not going to experience an OMFG epiphany, if you are coming from a very good OMNi VII and I’m not sure I agree with the value proposition of paying 2x the price to go up that last 5-7%. Of course this is all coming A’la keyboard commando so take anything I say with a large grain of salt. |

Do you mind taking some photos in low Light conditions to see the difference?

Having looked through enough tubes and taken pics/vids trying to match the image to my eye, I feel I have a good idea of what I'm looking at. They are the same differences I've seen with my own eyes with gen 3 thin filmed tube and Photonis Echos. From these pics/vids and others I've seen online, the higher specs don't perform the same as filmless. I don't know Synyster06Gates but from what I gather he's an end user and not a reseller or industry guy. Which I hope he is because every comparison I've seen so far of Elbit thin filmed higher spec WP vs L3Harris filmless WP has not been done by a regular end user. An end user's comparison & opinion holds more weight in my eyes.
I'm not taking a dump on the higher spec Elbit XLSH tubes (they look like very nice tubes) but the performance is obviously not the same. If that matters to you. It's the details, such as in the 3rd set of pics with the fencing in background, 4th set behind the propane tank, and 5th set the detail of the T posts & background. These differences might not matter to some but if you want the highest performance you can get it's obvious which one to choose. People make a big deal about the red glow from IR sources, passive shooting, and the seriousness of using NV, etc. for tactical advantage, etc. This isn't any different and I'd argue is even more critical because it affects how well you see in the dark to do all of those things. ETA: Ruling out the higher EBI, the closer shots with the truck and small tree (with a light source nearby) you can clearly see the difference. Just to clarify, I have zero interest (financial or personal) as to which tube is better. |

I'm not military, law enforcement, or someone who relies on these to save or take lives. I've been around NV since October and I've already gone through an Omni VII PVS-7, two PVS-14s with L3s exportable 10160 tubes, two Omni VIII PVS14s I ran as duals, a 57 res 35 SNR filmless WP, and now these two. I've looked through a good number of tubes and just wanted to see for myself how thin filmed vs unfilmed do when their specs are similar. They're both awesome tubes IMO, there's just a clear difference. if I didn't have the L3 on hand, I'd probably be in love with the thin filmed. I'm going to end up selling or returning the Elbit though, so I'm trying to knock this comparison out before it goes away. |

I find that videos are a lot more telling when comparing these tubes because a still really doesn't capture how much noise is/isn't there. Here's a simple shot (control with IR first) in a room that has zero light coming in aside from what's coming through the curtains of the bedroom on a cloudy morning then coming under the closet door. I couldn't see my hand 6'' from my face. Elbit first, followed by L3 then a video of each. L3 is clearly producing a brighter image with less noise. https://i.imgur.com/wwj4219.jpg https://i.imgur.com/0fWXnlC.jpg https://i.imgur.com/503RLdn.jpg https://i.imgur.com/8yt4pTf.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v31R4qQiJks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbxAP8Ex_Zw View Quote Best indoor test scenario yet.

Be honest though, if you spent 10 minutes in the closet acclimating to the darkness, would you still not be able to see your hand 6 inches from your face? |

I actually went in again for a couple minutes with a box to block ANY light from entering the room. It was dark enough that I couldn't get a usable picture through either tube. After spending maybe 5 minutes in the room with the box, I could only see a faint line of light at the bottom of the door. But even then I couldn't make out anything, including my hand directly in front of my eyes. Using a 3 second exposure on the iphone and ISO cranked, I couldn't pick anything up on camera, either. |

For comparison sake, here was my min spec Omni VIII next to a 57 lp/mm 35 SNR filmless L3. Even the relatively lower FOM filmless was leaps and bounds better (1995 L3 vs the Elbit Omni VIII at 1600). the difference is obvious here.
ETA - here is a link, I don't want to confuse people with the pics here Omvi VIII vs low(ish) spec filmless WP |

Just tried to replicate your test with what I believe is an OMNI VII PVS-14.
Room had all lights off, shutters drawn and curtains closed. Pics taken in closet with pillow placed along bottom edge of closet door. I could see a very faint line of vertical light when looking at closet door but I could not see my hand 6 inches in front of my face. If I passed my hand between my eyes and the vertical faint white line, I could detect movement. Control pic: Attached File Test pic: Attached File My testing is inconclusive b/c I have a feeling my phone is contributing to some "light pollution" while the pic is being taken. |

For the same price id go with filmless every time. The thin film tubes only make sense when there is a price differential.

Apparently N-Vision isn't doing that any more, so you basically get what you get which kinda sucks because resolution ranges from 57-72 on those. The salesman I worked with before is no longer there and the guy yesterday straight up said place an order, we'll get to it when we get to it and we don't let you hand select any more. Some people also can't stand the blems on the side or the FPN. I actually don't mind it TOO much. I gotta say having an extremely clean screen is very nice - and there's ZERO noise on startup Oh well, I'm sticking with the filmless and through the Elbit up on the EE. They're both awesome tubes, but I gotta stick with the L3. |

Unfortunately, there's only so much you can do to show what these look like and the differences between them. If you question what people have to say (nothing wrong with that!), well then the only way you can really know for yourself is to see it with your own eyes.
The best way to do it (if you can) is like Synyster06Gates did by having both at the same time for a thorough side by side. Looking through someone else's device may work but IMO it's better to be able to spend the time comparing at your discretion. Especially in multiple lighting conditions because ambient lighting makes a huge difference. The pics/vids would look vastly different with a decent Moon overhead. |

If I had to chose 1 of the OPs tubes, it would be the filmless, even with the blem and FPN, the difference in performance in low light and the shadows is significant.

Clean tubes are important to some people but not me. That filmless tube you have looks good. The 2 biggest things I noticed when comparing in person was in low light the thin film had more scintillation than the filmless even though the snr was pretty much the same, and the filmless would allow you to pick up more detail in shadows. The difference wasn’t as drastic as your pictures but I’m suspecting that has something to do with the ebi on your thin film tube as the thin film tube I was comparing with was +-.5 ebi. IMO some things don’t translate from paper to actual use and the whole thin filmed vs filmless is one of those things. All specs equal, filmless is going to give you better detail in low light. |

Not knocking anyone in particular (and certainly not OP) but I think where a lot of people fail when doing these comparisons is that they post pics of trees/bushes/etc.. Knowing the shallow depth of focus for these devices, we're seemingly always left with a somewhat blurry representation of what the tube offers. Trees/bushes are phenomenal for showing how deep a tube can pierce into shadows but I would really like to see images of man-made objects that we instantly recognize and have a good frame of reference for how the same object would look in a smartphone pic.
It would be cool if everyone had a standardized PDF of the USAF tri-bar resolution chart saved off on the computers and the norm was to post a pic of your NV device at something like 10 ft. just spitballin' Attached File |
