[Mircea Pteancu]

Dupa cum am vazut ,este util sa avem la indemana un catalog sau o lista exhaustiva a binoclurilor produse de catre o firma de optica.Avem deja publicat un asemenea catalog al firmei Goerz si iata, acum publicam o lista a binoclurilor Zeiss produse intre 1894 si 1950 la Jena ,adaugita cu cele produse intre 1954 si 1972 la Oberkochen&Wetzlar.Lista nu acopera intervalul 1951-1953.Lista originala a fost elaborata de catre Wolfgang Kind si Peter Hudemann,fiind apoi revizuita,tradusa si adaugita de catre Jack Kelly,Fred Schwartzman si Peter Abraham,fiind astfel publicata pe extraordinarul site de istoria telescopului si binoclului al lui Abraham, adica la: http://home.europa.com/~telscope/binotele.htm

Multumim tuturor pentru valoroasele informatii si pentru acordarea accesului la ele.

D.F. IS THE MILITARY DESIGNATION; ALL D.F GLASSES HAD A LARGE HINGE TENSION KNOB AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HINGE
THROUGH THE 1920'S.
BEGINNING WITH THE TELEX MODEL IN 1907, ALL BINOCULAR HINGES WERE CAST INTEGRAL WITH THE BINOCULAR BODY,
RATHER THAN SCREWED ONTO THE BODY. AT THE SAME TIME, THE PRISM COVER WAS PROVIDED WITH A LIP TO WRAP AROUND
THE BINOCULAR BODY AND THE BINOCULAR WAS MARKED WITH THE MODEL NAME
PRIOR TO 1904, BINOCULARS WERE IDENTIFIED WITH THE CARL ZEISS NAME IN SCRIPT.
AFTER THAT TIME, THE FAMILIAR LENS LOGO WAS SUBSTITUTED.
