Carl Zeiss Jena Binoculars JENOPTEM 8×30 Coated Lenses(Serviced 12-5-17 – Alligment of prisms).
Superb Quality Wide View German Made Binoculars Serial number 3988778 (1972)production stopped in 1991This is a fine top quality binocular that is in a good working condition.No scratches on any lenses.
Coated Lenses – helps minimize lens reflections, improve the clarity of vision and protect the lenses
Some small areas of paint loss. Two ‘extremely small’ scratches to edges of objective prism plates (the results of a drop i suspect) See pictures 6.
The main focus wheel and right diopter adjustment operate smoothly and correctly. (re-greased)Glass elements in both barrels are undamaged – very clear, sharp and bright.Possibly the odd speck but nothing that interferes with views. These binoculars are collimated for prolonged fatigue – free viewing (no double image)I found the collimation to be ‘very good’ with no eyestrain.These are a superb pair of binoculars made by Carl Zeiss the world famous German optical manufactures.The red velvet lined brown binocular case is also in a good working condition. It shows some marks but nothing serious. Both straps are also in a good working order.
Constructed of brass, steel and aluminium, covered with black lacquer and leather, Bakelite eyepiece surrounds. Wide angle of view to aid easy object location.The Jenoptem 8×30 has been a long standing ‘classic’ binocular for many years!These binoculars are both collectible as they are usable. Binoculars will be well packed/padded.
Beware of Far Eastern produced Carl Zeiss copies which have a six digit serial number instead of the normal seven. These copies also have a groove running along the circumference of the large central focus wheel. They are inferior in both build quality and optical performance. Thank you
