    Product Review: Oberwerk SE 8 x 32 ED.

    Mini review on the Oberwerk SE 8x32 E I was fortunate recently in being loaned the Oberwerk for a few days and hopefully these comments may help interested parties. First off I was immediately struck by the large size and weight of the binocular. It could easily be taken for an 8x42. The...

    Lens caps for 7x35 Leica "Retrovid"

    Sort of missing the point really.

    Lens caps for 7x35 Leica "Retrovid"

    It may not be generally known but the standard E39 metal lens cap that has been produced by Leica for years will fit the Retrovid objective lenses. However I did not wish to pay the inflated prices for a genuine pair and discovered that the Chinese(?) knock offs do the job admirably at a much...

    D.I.Y. Leica "Retrovid" 7x35 focussing improvement.

    When Leica brought out the original 7x35 BA in the 60' s I purchased the rubber covered version and for years it was my go to binocular for all applications. Over the long period I had them, for me they were the perfect binocular. This apart from the focussing knob. After a long day in the field...

    EDG 65 scope?

    I'm a bit late to this thread but thought I would contribute. I've had the angled 65mm for a couple of years now with the zoom and LER 20x eyepieces. I have had the opportunity to compare it with the latest top end Leica and Kowa scopes. True it is a bit heavy and is not that small however the...

    APO televid 65/82 fixed eyepiece(s)

    I decided to speak again to Leica in Mayfair about these mythical eyepieces. Was told that they never made a 32xWW or a 20-60x for the later 65mm and 82mm and that it was a mistake in the catalogue! So much for Leica precision, but then we all make mistakes. Pity a wide angle fixed eyepiece...

    APO televid 65/82 fixed eyepiece(s)

    Hi there, I have a Leica catalogue from 2007, about the time the Televid 65 and the Apo Televid 65 were introduced. It shows that not only was a 32x WW fixed eyepiece available but also a 20x-60x zoom. The Leica product/order numbers are 41 016 and 41 018. The 25x-50x Zoom was 41 019. I have...

    Advice on Leica APO 62

    One small observation. I got rid of my Televid 62 angled as I found it a bit difficult to sight on a subject. This was because of the off set prism not being in line with the objective. Optically excellent though

    Cases for Leica 62mm Scopes

    Like several Forum members I have been frustrated in my attempts to get an original case for my Straight Leica 62mm scope. I have however found an outfit in the States that does a range of neoprene covers for scopes. They are sold under the name Snugfit ScopeSkins and can be found on the...

    Nikon 8x42 EDG or Swarovski EL8.5x42 Swarovision

    Hi Rex, I have had the opportunuty to look at both the edg and the swarovision as a friend had both but in the higher power 10x32 EDg and 10x42 EL. I imagine the optical performance is very similar. For ease of handling and overall optical excellence I would go for the Swaro. Definition is much...
