These don't need much of an introduction. Launched in 1968 and built in West Germany, the Dialyt 10x40 binoculars were simply the benchmark for roof prism binoculars for decades. Hunters, stalkers, and serious birders all wanted a pair, and those who had them rarely let go of them.

Zeiss T* multi-coatings, phase correction, Schmidt-Pechan roof prisms, and that famously smooth focus wheel. Glass this good doesn't really age. It is still comparable with today's optics. 

Specs at a glance:

  • 10x magnification / 40mm objective
  • ~110m field of view at 1000m
  • 4mm exit pupil
  • T* multi-coated + P* phase corrected (late production)
  • ~670g | Made in West Germany

We don't often see these come through the door in good condition, so when we do, we grab them. A genuine piece of optics history - and still very usable glass today.

Some standard signs of wear, as per the images, very much synonymous with the age of the binoculars.
