Description: In 1958, Leitz released a novel binocular called Amplivid. The glass featured a novel hybrid prism and mirror assembly which folded a light path similar to that in the Abbe-Koenig prism system, but with two additional air-glass surfaces. The mirrors, however, significantly reduced the total quantity of glass in the Binoculars. The result was a remarkable achievement that was only ever duplicated by Leitz with the release of the heavier Trinovid version five years later using Uppendahl prisms! What am I talking about? A mind-boggling 636 feet at 1000 yards field of view (compare to 450 feet at 1000 yards for 7x42 Zeiss Victory FL) with 4 mm exit pupils, wait 12oz. ! In other words, a true compact binocular that has full 4 mm exit pupils like a 10x40, combined with the whitest field of view of essentially any German Binoculars ever manufactured: equivalent to SARD 6x42. And at six times magnification, only the novice will delude himself with ideas about phase correction or ED glass, as the relevant aberrations, being proportional to magnification, are very slight. In sum and in conclusion, these are the greatest compact binoculars ever manufactured at any time and any place, bar none nor ever duplicated. The condition of the binoculars is optically superb with virtually unblemished glass. some Vulcanite body finish has been restored. Grab a pair of the best while you can for these as with all my optics, two weeks money back no questions. Ausgezeichnetes Fernglas kann man Leitz Wetzlar!
