Real TELEFORTEM 12X Carl Zeiss BINOCULARS sn. 362069

A very rare example of the 1913 Carl Zeiss side focus 12x30 Telefortem. It is rare because both eyepieces were focused in unison by twisting the right eyepiece, the left eyepiece having the independent dioptre adjustment. This system worked because the binoculars depth of field is very shallow and so the amount of movement to focus is very small. However, only 39 examples were made before Zeiss switched production to the 12x30 Telefortem with centre-wheel focusing. There are only three known examples plus this one.

Slight fungus, no scratches just cleaning marks, no haze, specks of dust. Both eyepieces focus in unison by twisting the right eyepiece. DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK QUESTIONS! The item "Real TELEFORTEM 12X Carl Zeiss BINOCULARS sn.
