This afternoon, by sheer coincidence, I was shown a nearly 40 year old Nikon 9x35 porro with an afov of 66°, tfov of 7.3°. While not "Nagler like" in fov this rather small and light bino was remarkably sharp across the field. It was owned by a birder (naturally)who had ordered it from Europe since that model was not sold here. He said it cost about $135 in 1970 and the import duties was almost that, too. A well worn but very nice and compact instrument that was still in decent collimation.
