DEUTSCHE OPTIK / SCHWEIZER APLANATIC MAGNIFIERS Here’s my story... Years ago I was using one of the Zeiss magnifiers we sell to fix a detail on a miniature ship. In the process, like a damned fool I splashed a drop of acetone on the lens. Reacting intuitively, I immediately wiped. Damn, that was the end of a couple hundred bucks! Then the search began. Yeah.., just try and
find real quality glass magnifiers, that are aspheric or better aplanatic. That lead me to A. Schweizer GmbH. Been around for 167 years. Use only Schott (Zeiss) white glass; grind all their own. In fact, make all the components in house! Aplanatic lenses have more edge to edge clarity, without distor- tion by minimizing spherical aberra- tions and eliminating coma. Schweizer does this with two lenses, not that you could tell, holding ‘em in your hand. Yes, they’re heavy, but that’s good, keeps things steady. Brilliant. The best there is!

THE BEST BINOCULAR CASES MADE
As they say: “You get too soon old, and too late smart,” but finally, it occurred to me that our Spanish leather goods maker should be recruited to making us binocular cases! So, I measured out what we needed made, and bingo! Wow these are fine. Made of full-grain saddle leather, brass hardware, box stitched, and felt lined! Have an adjustable strap, of course, that also secures the cover. We made them in two sizes: medium and large, which should cover most needs. These will last at least several generations of hardy use. The best you’ll ever get!
