RARE, Fully Rebuilt/Restored German, World War II Military FLAK Binoculars. 10X 80mm Lens, with 45 degree viewing. Mounted on a Heavy Duty Manfrotto Tripod and Head, with tall crank up center post. Also has Vixen style Dovetail, for detaching from mount.
These binos have Giant Prisms, and have unique 4 way switching knob that switches neutral density filters inside. (Dims the views.. great on the Full moon, Bright daylight viewing, or solar viewing ( with proper external filters). The extra wide angle eyepieces are not original, but work excellent with these binoculars. (30mm O.D).. they give a 11X magnification and apx 5 degree Field of View. (Original eyepieces were not salvageable, but new eyepieces work even better)
Great for General use or for ASTRONOMY.
Tripod extends very high and I use this setup standing up.
Comes with a red dot finderscope also.
Optics are very nice.. no haze or fungus.
I have tested this setup and it has nice, wide field of view, sharp images and HIGH contrast and nice formed star images.Collimation is good.
I am an amateur astronomer myself with almost 50 yrs of experience and have completely tested this setup over several nights, mount and tripod and optics are very nice.
Reconditioned and restored by an experienced optical re-builder.. I've reconditioned over 475 optical units to date with many satisfied customers including NASA contractors and also Healthcare professionals.
