I was wondering if the group could share some of their knowledge and experience on some of the second tier German Optical firms such as:
Hertel & Reuss
Eschenbach
Optolyth
Beck Kassel
Paragon??? (not sure if they are german)
I have seen a number of binos come through on Ebay from these and other "second tier" German manufacturers, and was wondering if anyone in the groups could comment on these manufacturers..... I bought an 8x30 Beck Kassel glass on ebay and optically it is pretty close to the Zeiss Jena 8x30's I own.

Aren't they made by 'Photax'? - the camera lens manufacturers.
(I used to own a Photax Paragon SLR lens - and it was pretty good)

Optolyth is the only brand you listed that I have any experience with. They are very good and a little pricey. Bear Basin Outfitters and Euro Optic are the two best sources that I know of. Bear Basin is usually a little cheaper.
