    Zeiss Dialyt 7x42 TP

    Yes, the shorts seem to work fine until the snow starts creeping in. Even then, it's just a matter of how much cold you can tolerate. 3:-) I remember, many children during my school days ran around in gym shorts in the months approaching Christmas vacation! Of course, everything - even the...

    Zeiss Dialyt 7x42 TP

    An excellent point Arthur and an observation I've also made myself. Perhaps I am better poised to impress the snooty, aristocrat hunters in Germany, who continue to fawn over these and sell them for nearly the cost of new alphas. However, I am concerned my usual attire of khaki shorts and a...

    Zeiss Dialyt 7x42 TP

    Thank you to everyone for the input, especially the ones bearing some criticism towards the binos. Being able to discuss the weakpoints of all binoculars, even beloved alphas, is what makes this subforum so valuable. I understand better now the weaknesses of this bino as a main-birding glass...

The Fero's have supposedly been re-collimated and service...

    Zeiss Dialyt 7x42 TP

    Thanks for the information, Arthur. Do you think the focusing mechanism is something that has to be serviced after a certain number of years, or should it last a lifetime with mindful use? I have read some reports of focusing wheel gremlins.

    Zeiss Dialyt 7x42 TP

    Hello everyone, I caved into my addiction again and managed to source a 7x42 Dialyt TP (no West Germany label) from a local birdwatching group. I was kind of just entertaining myself with friendly conversation but managed to get what I think is an okay price in 2020 (about 900 USD after...
