Product details
The Carl Zeiss Jena Deltrintem 8x30 binoculars and its individual focus version, known under the name of Deltrentis, were produced in Jena from 1920 to 1990 practically without cease.
These are classic Porro prism instruments with achromatic objectives. At first these binoculars contained 4 lens-elements ocular without any antireflection coatings. During the WWII one layer of magnesium fluoride coating was put on air-to-glass surfaces.
In 1947 the ocular was replaced by an Erfle design with 5 lens-elements which was supposed to provide a wide field of view with minimum distortion level. In 1978 the producer started to use new multilayer coatings with the characteristic orange-purple hue.
Around 1990 when the Jena plant was taken over by the Docter company, the binoculars not only didn’t go out of production but even were given improved multi-coatings. Its production, already under the Doctor brand name, ceased only ca.1995.
The specimen we’ve tested is marked with a serial number of 6206318 which means it was produced in 1985 and, being so, it already boasts newer multilayer coatings. You can find a narrow strap and a small soft case included with the binoculars.
