These guys lasted in production from 1936 into the mid-'60's. In terms of quality, though, they're just not there -- I have a slew of 8x30 CZJ's, and even my uncoated glasses outperform the Leica binoculars. Both are EXTREMELY close in physical size (the CZJ neckstrap fits the Leica binoculars, for instance: mine came without a strap, and I had a spare Zeiss strap). Well, these will do all right as glove-box glasses, but I'm disappointed. I would have expected more from E Leitz Wetzlar.
