One is that it has been a long time since I saw a NEW binocular without any name at all on it , and the other is that I've never seen a 10-80 x 70 zoom binocular either !
Could you post a photo of this model ?

Kenny,
How about this one? This is an internet translation.

Kenny, can you please tell me what kind of instrument do you have (the one that sees the plates at 1,5 miles away)?

Hi mostlyd ,
It is a Televue 76 APO telescope , using a 18mm Televue Radian eyepiece , with 3x Televue Barlow lens .
The magnification using that combination is 3 x 26.7x , which yields almost exactly 80x .
Kind regards
Kenny

I ordered the Sakura thing today. I'm filled with anticipation. I know it is not a very smart way to spend $100 but there are some things one must simply try.  Especially I am interested in a comparison with the piece that I have.
Thank you for the info Kenny. I hope I'll find some store where to try such a telescope (or at least some good telescope or binoculars). I am really curious now about seing a superlative among such devices.

You are more than welcome , my friend !
I forgot to add that for most kinds of longer distance daytime viewing , I actually prefer to use my Zeiss 85mm Diascope , with 20-60x zoom lens .
It offers a straight - through view , which I prefer due to needing to stand very straight due to a minor back problem , offers CORRECT / normal way around images , as opposed to the reversed left to right of the Televue without an erecting prism , is considrably lighter in weight than the TeleVue 76 , and is waterproof , which the TeleVue is not .
However , there is no doubt in my mind that the TeleVue is in a higher class , certainly in optical quality and probably in build quality , too .
Good luck with your $100 gamble !
I have a distinct feeling you are going to need it :-)
Kind Regards
Kenny

Hi Kenny,
These Televues are quite nice, aren't they. I have one also, and I am always impressed with it. I have just too many oculars for it, but each does its job.
Best regards,
Dave.

The other big problem with zoom binoculars is the collimation shifts when zooming on the ones I had. I learnt after that.

Hi Simon,
Right on! I purchased one once. The "remaining parts" are in my workshop for future hardware. Never again. Learnt my lesson too, but I can't believe I did such a dumb thing. I even knew better.
Best regards,
Dave.
