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.
Huh. I thought Zeiss only made CT scanners and X Ray machines like the Metrotom. Kinda neat they do optics as well.
When Sony launched the e-mount a lot of their top tier glass was co-branded with Sony and Zeiss logos. Example. They’ve been making optics since the 1840s
Also a one of the biggest western optical lens manufacturer
They were an optics company long before they did other things too as far as i know.
