Whilst here,it would be interesting to know what Cookie thought of the recent legendary Dioptres rock track. I bet he"s got it on his ipod.

They are the Oberkochens. The 'B' version was designed for eye glass wearers. The have a 7.4 Degree FOV.They were produced in the 1960's. I missed out on a similar pair recently. They are a desirable and collectable bino. That appears to be the going price for ones in excellent condition.
