This model binocular made in the early 1950's had a tendency to a warm tint, as the Canadian Balsam aged. Manmathan tamil mp3 bgm.Īgain, if equipped with a modern multi-coating, this binocular were still able to compete on todays medium range market'- If you do not wear specs, you should find that this glass will work nicely at sporting events. This old Binuxit of the 1950s was beating its competitors of the 1970s (Deltrentis), 1980s (B8x30) and the currently made 8WYJ, not a bad result for such a grandpa model. It also proves that the engineers of that period were well aware of the competition and their performance levels, and always eager to strive for improvements.

Holger Merlitz wrote: Among a couple of other aspects, this review has proven two points: First, the Leitz Binuxit was superior to its Zeiss competition from 1927 onwards, the year of its introduction, until 1954, the year when Zeiss Oberkochen introduced its new binocular.

If your serial number is above 48000, it is probably coated.Ĭoating makes a big difference in contrast and brightness. Hello Subtle Fox, The usual tint on coated lenses is purple to blue. How can I tell if it's coated? I see a slight pink tint on the front lenses. Also, Zeiss East Germany did actually have supply agreements with some Asian producers, so there may be authentic Zeiss fakes. PS I'd be confident this is an authentic glass, the Binux did not sell in sufficient volume to make fakes worthwhile. There are lots of more fancy reticles than this vanilla linear scale, the East German Zeiss EDF had perhaps the most extreme, it could be used to judge tank distance by the height of the vehicle. The range finder reticle is for a very rough guess, you assume the size of the object that you are looking at, see how many arc seconds (or milliradians or whatever the reticle marks represent) the object covers and basic trig will tell how far off it is. Your Binux is item 71 on the list, noted for a pretty wide FoV (), last produced in the early 1960s. These have the range finder filter, I'd like to know how this thing works if anyone knows.ĮDIT: Looks like my picture angle cut the serial number off.it's 545763 (found below the 'Wetzlar') Thanks and enjoy! Hi, A bit more color on your glass is available here: Scroll down to where it says 'Leitz binocular models' for the link. They have a pretty good scratch on what looks like the inside of one of the lenses which is kinda odd, I guess someone tried to open them up and did that.good thing is that the view doesn't seem to be affected. They look okay, came with a cheap case that says 'Taiwan' on it, hopefully these aren't total copies likes the infamous Zeiss binos I've seen. Here are a few photos I grabbed below, let me know if you would like to see more. Hiya BF, First time poster, long time lurker here.just thought I'd share a set of binos I picked up recently and hopefully find more information on them from you all other than what's posted on the internet since you all seem to be very knowledgeable on these vintage binoculars.
