Awesome thread!

 

I haven't finished reading all 17 pages yet but a search of the site indicates this one hasn't been mentioned yet. It's a diamond Z and if you zoom in you can see the label has an addition of the new name, not sure what the original brand is underneath, anyone recognize it?

 

Cheers

circle z is typically tanzatsu and i have an orange 60x700 tanzatsu just like that under the focal brand.  mine has a blue mgfl coating on the objective and works ok as a telescope or as a spotting scope with a very narrow fov.  you could use it to look at boats on the lake.

It came up in post # 254, but nobody knew it's maker.

It's also at the bottom of this list that was posted earlier, but not identified.

I'm working my way thru all the pages but I tried several translating sites and thought I would post this. Hope it helps rather than confuses.

 

Cheers

the numbers in the far left column of the list correspond to the "jb" numbers used by japanese binocular makers and marked on all japanese binoculars from late 1959 until sometime in the 1970s.  that list can be found here.

one that is not correct is "dibei".  that marke is for teihoku

Good morning,

 

Finally, if an old eyepiece can take us on a journey through space and time,

the subject of this page shows us that it can also take us on a journey into the past of many countries.

 

Have a nice day!
