Antique Binoculars: Do We Really Recognize Them?
People all round the world like to collect stuffs. Some go for normal things like toys, paper, stamps, coins, photographs, but there are people who collect binoculars even though they are expensive. People usually collect antique binoculars as it is handed over to them from one generation to another.
If you are one among those people who want to collect binoculars then EBay is the place to go for as there are several auctions put up there. These antique binoculars are not that hard to find. There are many antique stores providing you a few pairs and even the optic shops will have few classy antique binoculars. Most of them often go to flea markets and yard sales to find few.
Some collectors have a cupboard full of antique field glasses. Field glasses are those that are used for outdoor purposes. This term however fell out of fashion with the entry of binoculars by the middle of nineteenth century.
The other type of binoculars that you see in a collector’s cupboard is the opera glasses. These are the classy glasses well suited for indoor events. It is most popularly used in theaters and concerts. These stylish binoculars were made of gold, silver and even jewels and were used as a manner to display wealth.
If you are desperate about buying a pair of binoculars my honest advice to you is to examine the lenses. The lenses should not look cloudy or blur. It is very hard to replace a broken or cloudy binocular lens. The same applies for a pair of prismatic binoculars, make sure the Bakelite eyepiece isn't damaged.
Most of the antique binoculars are covered with leather. Make sure the leather is in good condition. Like the lenses even the leather covering is very complicated and costly to replace. Consult a local saddler about cleaning the leather covering.
Refer some books on antique binoculars and its life span. Decide if you can lower the price of the binoculars.
While choosing a pair of binoculars see to it that all the parts are there and none of the parts are damaged. And also see if they are original. Carefully examine if they are still working.
Cautiously look for the numbers and markings on the binoculars. Any marks or prints that have been printed on the binoculars will make identifying the antique piece even easier.
Fro those who are interested in collecting the beautiful antique binoculars there are many books available in the stores. The Antique Telescope Society has a membership of around two hundred enthusiastic collectors of binoculars and it is a priceless resource for anyone interested in antique binoculars.

Is a "LensPen" ok to use to clean my Hyperion eyepeices?
I've got an optical lens cleaner made by LensPen. It says it's safe for all lenses. I'm a little skeptical about using it on my coated telescope eyepieces. Will it hurt anything? For those not familiar with this product, it is a pen with a retractable goat hair brush on one end and a carbon dry-cleaning head on the other end. Your supposed to brush off the visible contaminants and then gently rub the lens with the carbon pad until clean.
Yes, I have used it on my eyepieces with great success. I have a large one and a small one.
But, use an air puffer first to blow off the larger dust chunks.

Swarovski 20x60xs Eyepiece
List Price: |
DescriptionAll eyepiece lenses are 100 % watertight. The 20-60x zoom is in any case the only watertight zoom lens. The fully adjustable eyecup with its large diameter opens up the full field of vision even for eyeglass wearers, providing a very comfortable viewing feel. All eyepieces are fitted with an integrated, quick-release lens cover. The new S-lenses also come with the unique SWAROTOP coating for bright and contrast-rich images, whatever the light conditions Compatible with ATM/STM, ATS/STS, and CTS spotting scopes, the Swarovski 20x60x eyepiece is ideal for all types of observations. The eyepiece--which offers a full 108-to-60-foot field of view at 1,000 yards--features individually adjustable twist-in eyecups that are removable for cleaning. As a result, the eyepiece works for both traditional users and eyeglass wearers. More significantly, the eyepiece produces luminous, diamond-bright images with edge-to-edge sharpness across the entire magnification range. It's the perfect eyepiece for sporting events, camping, and birdwatching, as it lets you both scan the terrain and identify birds in razor-sharp detail. The eyepiece also features a glass cover that protects against dust and dirt even when the eyepiece is removed. Users will also love the bayonet connector, which makes it easy and quiet to change the eyepiece, and the automatic safety mechanism, which keeps you from accidentally unscrewing the unit. Finally, the lens includes a nonstick Swaroclean coating on the outer surface, which makes it considerably easier to clean objective and eyepiece lenses. The coating--which helps extend the lifespan of your lens--is particularly effective when you need to remove dried-on mineral residues (such as water marks from condensation), insect repellents, and tree resin. About Swarovski Optik Although founded in 1949, Swarovski Optik's roots actually trace all the way back to 1895, when Austrian Daniel Swarovski--who invented the world's first electric grinding machine for jewelry stones--established the family-owned Swarovski Crystal in the province of Tyrol. Since then, the name Swarovski has become synonymous worldwide with the clearest crystal, precision grinding, and a brilliant spirit of innovation, as the original enterprise continued branching out into additional lines of business. Swarovski Optik owes its rise to Wilhelm Swarovski, son of the original founder and an avid hobby astronomer, who decided to build his own improved binocular in 1935 at a mere 17 years of age. With access to the specialized glass production and finishing technologies already used to manufacture jewelry stones in his father's factory, Wilhelm managed to develop a novel prism fabrication and grinding process that he applied in constructing his first 6x30 binocular. Wilhelm went on to found Swarovski Optik KG in Absam, Tyrol, in 1949, thus laying the foundation for a sports optics company with a global reputation. His company's first serial product, the Habicht 7x42, is still an industry standard in the field of hunting optics and continues to be produced in the best tradition of its founder. Features

Digiscoping was discovered by chance by wildlife watchers when they came up with the idea of holding their digital cameras up to the eyepieces of their spotting scopes. The results were better than expected and provided a starting point for further refinement of this interesting photographic technique. Digiscoping captures the spotting scope's magnified image with a digital camera. However, the days when cameras were simply held up to the eyepiece by hand are long gone. Nowadays, adapters are used to connect the spotting scope up to the camera. An increasing number of nature lovers and amateur photographers are discovering the benefits of digiscoping for themselves and experiencing a completely new dimension in photography. Features
