I thought Noblex had gone?

I thought Noblex had gone?

They still seem to stick around but sell a strange mixture of MiC bins and laser range finders. The only really interesting model seems to no longer be made - it's the old NVA military model formerly made by Zeiss. The NF 7x40 BGA.

However I just recently bought the 7x50 Inception MiC model and it easily outperformed my slightly older Nikon "Marine" 7x50. But that might just be the coatings.

Thanks for adding some others. I thought Vanguard was a store rebrand, I'll look again, and check DDoptics. I think we are close though and splitting hairs. Especially with the chinese and kamakura rebrands. Now the fun stuff. Alphabetized list, sort by mag/objective, focusing type, roof/prism, warranty period etc...

Vanguard is not just rebranded. Besides, if rebranded binos should be excluded, why is Eschenbach on the list or about 75% of the names on the list? Eschenbach makes no binos, neither does Kite. If Kite is on the list, DDoptics should be on it, too as they sell basically the same rebranded Kamakura models for their higher end stuff.
The "Bonelli" was sold by DDoptics as "EDX HR" for instance.

Vanguard 28. Didn't know it is a Woman owned, family business too.
DDoptics. 36
New total. 1,233

 

[Bino Steve]

I was only excluding rebrands if they were a store rebrand like Cabelas or West Marine etc. Yes, there are tons of duplicates or close duplicates among the Kamakura and Chinese OEM based stuff. If the company is trying to make a legitimate stand alone brand, basically, they have a website with pages dedicated to binoculars and optics, I put them on the list.

 

[Binocollector]

Cool - BTW, thanks for the effort! I think it's a great idea.

 

[Bino Steve]

Thanks, fun but also useful I think. Check out brands you've never heard of. Maybe support someone other than the Toyota and Ferrari of optics. Keep track of trends. Etc.

Komz: 8x30, 10x40, 12x45, 15x50 (all with CF)
7x30 and 10x40 with IF and flat field. The rest are variations like with and without reticle, rubber armor, etc.
So 6 models AFAIK.

 

[Binocollector]

Zomz: 8x20, 8x40, 10x50, 4 different models with IS, so 7 models.
Edit: Binastro already metioned all those...

I alphabetized it for easier reading and thought you might want to update the first post with it too.

 

[Binastro]

There are also the Russian EWA 6x30, 7x35, 8x40 and 10x50.

Usually in camouflage body.

The optics are fair, but mechanically rather shoddy.

I am not sure if still made.

They were one of the few EWA binoculars available new in recent years.

About 12.5 degrees field for 6x30 and 7.5 degrees for 10x50.

Regards,
B.

 

[Bino Steve]

Thanks Guys! I will repost alphabetized. I don't need to be owner of it, happy to just start it and share helping build it. Someone will get use out of it somehow.

 

[Bino Steve]

Binocollector, is the Russian stuff verified by a website? You have accessed it?

 

[Bino Steve]

Ok, I verified Komz at 23 and Zomz 8. I'll add. I'll call that good for the Russian market at the moment to be fair.

 

[Bino Steve]

Will add APM at 66.

 

[Bino Steve]

Visionary. 64. This seems like a Cabelas type situation though for the Optical Hardware store, anyone know?

Indeed I have.
