I havent been here on the forum for a while.
Toooooo much work lately.
Here is some photo from my last trip in the mountains in west - Norway.
I was on the top of the mountain in the first photo- some hours saturday using a Hensoldt 10x50 ww2 owned by a friend
Here is the view from the mountain in first photo
3rd Photo is a closer shot on the mountain in 2nd photo. My wifes grandmother`s grandmother came from this little farm. No road - you have to climb up the mountain

Sorry for that this photo is falling down.
I did have trouble with Photobucket to get it fixed. Edited by zeissoem2 - June/16/2009 at 15:19 |

Beautiful country zeiss. No roads to the farm! The old people must have been a tough breed.

( ahem....) " old binos"...........
Here is yet another Internet photo of the same kind of binoculars that I have [ I am trying to shove photos into the side of my laptop but the little drawer-thing looks like a CD player to me!!!.... ]........
Anyway, I've got a pair of these Czech Army Surplus 6X30 ( made by Meopta in 1960 ) with a reticle in the right barrel ----and mine actually has an infrared-detecting filter that I can rotate into the left ocular!! The ones I have are in great shape---optics are mint....
heehee

Those binos are actually really nice. I am very fond of Eastern European Optics: the Eastern German Carl Zeiss Jena, Polish PZO, Romanian IOR, the russian KOMZ BPO, Kronos and Baighish as well the czechian Meopta and OPTIKOTECHNA PREROV (which I assume are the binos you own). Often quite good and valuable binos for the money.

zeissoem2, very nice pictures...kind of remind me of the ones I have of the area around Geilo (without a fjord, of course), where my grandfather's family lived. Anywhere I've been in Norway has been beautiful.
