I don't know if this is the correct forum for these, but it seems like some in this group might find these interesting. If I collected Zeiss I think that this would be an interesting set of binoculars, especially if the price remains low. If nothing else, it's interesting to look at the photographs and see how things were. And no, I have no connection whatsoever with this item or seller. I hope you enjoy looking:
