“As a free lance write and firearms editor.” This was made during the US occupation and even though those binoculars not offers the best optical performance, they could previosly be had at money where it didn't matters if they got stolen.ĭo you have any vintage binoculars that you use?

The h construction meant that the field lens was cemeted together with the prisms.īefore Nikon was name Nikon it was Nippon Kogaku. This is produced in february 1936 in the first batch of 20 binoculars that had coated lenses. FOV is 8,5 degree and that is considered as very good.īaush & Lomb 7x50 M16 and M17 offers also good binoculars that can be used today.ĭelfort 18x50 from around 1922 is not the best example of good user value, but still it can be nice to use it just for the fun of it.ĪT the height of the optical development is the 8圆0 HT. The eyecups are of "gasmask model" so they should be retracted while using gasmasks, this fits me well as I am using often glasses. This is a Dutch Nedinsco, (System Carl Zeiss Jena) and the factory was under German control during the war. Here is some of the older stuff I am using. I do use 60 year old binoculars as much as I use modern stuff.Īnd as a free lance write and firearms editor for one magazine I do test a lot of optics. I have from time to time showed pictures of a number of older optics here.
