Anybody know how and if it has eyepiece focus. It does not appear to have a focus lock ring. Thanx

You can contact H.E. Gibbs in Amsterdam, NY. They do custom work on old B&L optics.

The B&L Balvar8A has eye piece focus. Most I have seen have etched tapered cross hairs. They also often have a bunch of fuzz in them which I believe is from the flocking that is used on the inside of the tube. Great optics though. I have several older B&Ls, including an 8A. I hope this helps.
