| One of the oldest binoculars serviced by Optrep
was this Carl Zeiss 8x ‘Feld stecher’
. First produced in 1894, this remarkable, benchmark
binocular, still a pleasure to use today, was
a sensation in its time. Of course, we also service
the most modern binoculars. |
|
 |
| Examples of the more modern equipment that we repair and service: Leica 8x32 BN ‘Trinovid’ binoculars and a Leica APO-Televid 62 prismatic spotting scope. |
|
| |
 |
| Binoculars can be modified to focus closer,
this being of special interest to birdwatchers.
Older, but excellent, Leitz Trinovid and Zeiss
Dialyt binoculars (10x40 examples illustrated)
are particular candidates for this modification. |

| A pair of Zeiss 10x40 BGA/T* 'Dialyt' binoculars stripped down for servicing in the Optrep workshop. The object lenses and the eyepieces lenses still have to be dismantled. |
