FREE: CARL ZEISS JENNA BINOCULARS

The listing, CARL ZEISS JENNA BINOCULARS has ended.

The Carl Zeiss Jena 8x30 binoculars were most certainly produced till 1990. It is also possible that some specimens were released in 1991 as that year over 5000 binoculars left the assembly line with the widely popular, world-wide known logo. The same year, however, the Berlin Wall fell and the claims of the Western Zeiss branch, the legal heir of the whole achievements of that company, meant the Jena plant lost the right to use the Zeiss logo. Nature doesn’t like void; almost exactly at the same time (1 August 1991) the factory with 550 workers was bought by Bernhard Docter and renamed into Docter-Optic-Eisfeld GmbH. The production was continued, only the name of the binoculars changed into Docter Optic. That’s why at the beginning of the 90s of the twentieth century the old, good Deltrintem 8x30 could be bought as the Docter Optic Classic 8x30.

THESE WERE MY FATHER'S WHO BOUGHT THEM 1958. HE USED THEM HERE AND THERE BUT KEPT THEM IN GOOD SHAPE. THE CASE SHOWS SOME WEAR IN THE BACK BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THESE BINOCULARS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

THESE RANGE IN PRICE IF THEY ARE NEW FROM $499 TO $3000. THIS SET INCLUDES THE CASE AND THE EXTRA LONG STRAP BAND TO USE AROUND YOUR NECK WHEN WEARING.

THIS IS AN ANTIQUE WORTH HAVING.
