Zeiss 12X50b Nobilem Spezial Rare Wide Angle Binoculars
This model was produced in the 1980s ni very limited numbers (generally believed to be due to the high cost of production). It wsa at the time the widest field of view on a (quality) 12x binocular at 96m/1000m and possibly still is. Despite that, it delivers an exceptionally sharp image, softening only towards the very edge of the field.
Oviously well used with lots of cosmetic wear, but optically and mechanically excellent. Apart from a light scratch on one eye lens, which is out of the light path, the optics are perfect, internally crystal clear and prefectly collimated. Mechanically faultless adn if you like a fast-focus binocular, this goes from infinity to close-up in half a revolution of the focus wheel, which is quite amazing. Original case, but note the partial tear to the rear hinge loop.
Case and binocular straps included. Insured shipping uk £12, europe £15, rest of the world £25.
