    Docter Deltrintem 8x30 - First impressions

    I have always been keen on acquiring one of the proper "classics" in the binocular world, and the 75 years or so production run of the Deltrintem 8x30 is of course on of the major standouts.

    Looking for very small binoculars with low magnification...

    I'm looking for some tips on really small binocular for my soon to be 3-year old. So far she has used a pair of Trinovid 8x20 with remarkable success. o:) However, I would like to get something more suitable. Larger exit pupils would be one thing to improve (say 3mm or more), and lower...

    Televid 77: Actual magnification?

    First of all, some background: Some time ago i realized that the actual specified magnification on all of my binoculars actually are somewhat incorrect. In many cases the "real" magnification is actually outside what you would consider acceptable by rounding. For example, all of my German...

    Greetings from Sweden

    Well, I've been browsing this forum for quite some time now. But I though it would be appropriate to actually post something for once :t:. Who am I then? I live in Gothenburg in the south-west of Sweden, work as a design engineer, and the last year or so I found myself quite interested in...
