Why would you want to buy binoculars which are 40 years old, made in the old style of heavy metal, and aren't that easy to use with glasses? Well, there are various answers to this question but the most important is that the Carl Zeiss 7x50 binoculars are of excellent quality; optically they are a match for all but the best modern binoculars, and they are made of sturdy, well engineered metal parts. Eye relief is indeed rudimentary but the view is fantastic and pretty distortion free; flare isn't a problem; they come in a magnificent leather case which is worth the price of the binoculars on its own; and they just feel comfortable in use. For viewing in low light, and if you don't need the stronger magnifications, they are pretty much perfect. And you can have the feeling of stepping back into a different age, when optical products were the result of precision engineering and skilled labour and a decent pair of binoculars was an expensive luxury. Yet today you can buy them for the price of cheap pair of Chinese binoculars made of flimsy plastic and tacky rubber. They are simply a pleasure to own and to use.Read full review
