I currently have this Zeiss binoculars from the 80s (therefore the emphasis on “west germany”). They work good enough and are ok-ish sharp, but i think contrast and color rendering are not very good.
I would be interested what others use and what experiences you have with it.
My partner got me a pair of Steiner 8x22 for my birthday a couple months ago. I haven’t had a chance to really use them yet. But it’s just for looking around or property and birds.
I’d pulled out an old cheap pair to show the kids a few months ago and it was in 5 broken pieces. I think that’s why she got them for me.
One of my girls asked for some so I ordered her a pair of Bresser 6x21 kids binoculars for her birthday in October. She also asked for a bird watching book.
