What Classic Optics do you still use regularily? (1 Viewer)

I'm a logo collector too. Look for Siam Cat from Focal which was Kmart store brand. Some are decent.

Received the Greenkat 10 today - nice optics but the eye relief even without glasses… is so short that they fog up quickly and eyelash fouls the lens everytime.

So, i’m going to stop looking for ultrawide vintage for now lol. I guess they went out of fashion for this very reason.

Oh darn. That is too bad. Try some of the standard fov stuff.

I regularly use an old pair of Zeiss 10 x 50s and they are just fine after having them for nearly 40 years.

I was given a broken pair of Swift Audabons many years ago. I had them repaired and they sit in one of the bedrooms for when I see something in the yard. Still an excellent optic.

Nice. I have an Audubon 8.5x44 I'm trying to sell. No takers yet. I don't like the color rendering of any Swift I have except Nighthawk is o.k. Too dull. Looks like everything drab.

Found this photo of an old Zeiss Swedish Army. Finger tip push focus similar to the Siam Cat photo I posted above. I wonder if it has to do with being able to use mittens.
