My latest acquisition, purchased for a ridiculous low price. Initial impression that it had been repainted from the site photos, but in real life, its the original paint, so in superb condition both cosmetically and optically. The web photo looked unusually bright. |

Very nice. It looks like the rubber is a bit past being helped by Armor All

Very true, but compared to most, the rubber is in excellent condition

Will you leave them all original as more of a show piece?

Oh, there is nothing that needs to be done to them, and they are fully functional, getting a benutzer to help protect the oculars glass, while they sit on the self

Nice find !!
I have a pair, they take a little "fiddling" to get the focus correct, BUT these are possibly the best optics that Zeiss has produced Enjoy !!
