    Best marine binoculars?

    I was told by Zeiss that the reason was economics. It was to expensive to built. Regarding the bin on the auction. According to the given specs the built period would be between 2000 and 2010. Unfortunately it is Made in West Germany but it is a T* so the building period lies between '78 and...

    New but probably wrong insight about lowlight

    You're quite right. The eyeball moves (so the pupil moves). Sorry for the confusion. I'm just Dutch. The main point is that the exitpupil from the binocular does not move. So when the pupil (while moving) has the space of, for example, 7mm from a 10x70 but is by itself just 4mm it collects more...

    New but probably wrong insight about lowlight

    Regardless the size of the pupil, the pupil moves (the visible size of the pupil is decided by the Iris). Otherwise we should only see the object straight ahead of the view.

    New but probably wrong insight about lowlight

    The range of movement is always the same. The pupil moves. It can be 3mm or 6mm in diameter. When it moves it moves regardless its diameter, something the Iris is responsible for.

    New but probably wrong insight about lowlight

    Reinier, What you have to take in account is the fact that the humans pupil doesn't stand still but moves tens of times per second. In theory will a 8 and 10x42 be the same when the pupil is 4.2 at the max. Still the 8 times looks brighter because of the fact the 'moving' pupil catches the...

    Trinovid hype

    In October 29 1999 Peter Abrahams and Richard Buchroeder interviewed David (died in 2005 on the age of 91 years) and Nancy Bushnell in which both gave an insight in the binocular developement after 1947. I got a transcript of that interview from Peter and it shows that in 1948 David Bushnell met...

    Best marine binoculars?

    By special order for the military/navy as they did, not so long ago, for the Dutch Navy. I am convinced Zeiss will surely make an exception for you if your order is big enough. Jan

    Dusk light performance relative to weight, NL Pure 10x32 vs 10x42

    Part two, Leica still makes the Ultravid 8x50. Great bin but the model doesn't sell. If one brings a new model on the market they do have to do their homework and when it turns out some specific model doesn't sell....... Jan

    Dusk light performance relative to weight, NL Pure 10x32 vs 10x42

    But up North, in the winter, a bit stiff. Otherwise I agree completely but, if the budget allows it, would go for the 52..

    Zeiss dialyt 7x42

    Hi P, No this batch came in from the widow of a retailer. When she finally decided to sell her house, she found in the basement old stock of their shop (closed 20 years earlier). So I bought new in the box Swaro, Zeiss and Leica, but from the 90s. Sometimes Christmas comes early...... Jan

    Guys, Swarovski doesn't make binoculars in China. A OEM does it for them, like they do for Bushnell, Vortex etc etc etc. Put a sticker on it and it is brand A, B and/or C. Country of Origin is not classified information, just legally required by EU-Law. In May the first batch will be on the...
