He used ED 80/600 lenses and prepare for 2 inch eyepiece.
Now I will try to make similar binos but need lenses in cell 80mm focal 400-600 .If You know some shop with good and cheap lenses please let me know! Lens ED and APO are to expensive for me so I will use achromat lens

My Polish language knowledge is zero. Thank you for the link to the pictures. Are the Polish and/ or Czech/Slovak 10 x 80 or 11 x 80 with 45 deg. or so inclined view yet available ? Or, are they relics of the socialist period? I am particulary interested in specimens which use nice clear glass, not the yellow glass so often found in Soviet era/Russian binoculars.

My English is bad. But I will try to anserw.
Yes it`s Russian TZK 10x80 with erfle eyepiece fov 75' but my friend told me that realy fov of them is near fov 66 mayby he`s right.
.He prepare focusers under LV eyepiece.

42 mm - 4,5 fov

22 mm - 2,3 fov

13 mm - 1,3 fov

5 mm - 0,5 fov

I think it`s very good results:-) As He said view of moon and planets at 120x is lovely.So it`s great binos for DSO and planets olso..ED glass eliminate aberation

Best regards
sorry for my English
