The inventor of roof prism binoculars, also made porros during the war. Owned by Zeiss nowadays (they always had a stake in Hensoldt, it seems). Makes 99.9% of Zeiss binoculars I think the 20X60 stabilized si still Zeiss, but that's it! Shouldn't be bad, if you check collimation and intact prisms. Coated lenses would be nice. Roofs would be more valuable than porros although the porro design is more efficient with the light it manages to gather; What do they want for these? lucian No archive!!
