On the right prism housing is E LEITZ WETZLAR.
I have read somewhere that UF is Unteroffizier Fernglas, or NCO’s Binocular. On the left prism housing is the designation DF03 and Dienstglas UF, with a serial number 2392. My Christmas present, a pair of WW1 03 Pattern binoculars by E Leitz of Wetzlar, with a leather 03 Pattern case marked CP GOERZ BERLIN, so obviously the binos and case are a marriage, either from during the war or later. Leitz (Wetzlar) DF 03 6x24 Binoculars WW1 Note: If you have a vintage binocular you either wish to sell or would just like some information about, I can be contacted at. Nonetheless, as noted by Merlitz, the Binuxit gives a more color-neutral view than the Oberkochen, and I think it's brighter too. Both binoculars have coated optics even though the coatings on the Binuxit's prisms are so faint as to almost appear not to be there. I believe this must be attributable to its ocular and eyepiece design. Most interestingly, I along with several other collectors find this binocular simply a lot more comfortable to use (see the "Comment and faves" following the description of the collection's Oberkochen 8X30 at The best I can describe the view is to say it is quick to find, easy to focus and seemingly all there right away unlike that of the Zeiss which always seems to take a little more adjusting and never feels quite as good as you think it should be. Merlitz also states the Zeiss has a slightly wider FOV, but although I'm sure he's correct, for some reason the Binuxit gives the illusion of having a wider one. Although the Binuxit has good sharpness to the edge, it is not quite as good as that of the collection's Oberkochen 8X30. Holger Merlitz in an excellent review ( rates the Zeiss Oberkochen 8X30 a better binocular in part because of better sharpness to the edge of field. Optically, this binocular is superb, but oddly it's a little difficult to explain why. Notes: The Leitz Binuxit 8X30 was introduced in 1927 and manufactured until 1962 when Leitz discontinued all of its Porro prism models in favor on the roof prism Trinovids. Serial #/Year of Manufacture: 583563, estimate manufactured late 1950’s – early 1960’s Manufacturer/Model: Leitz Wetzlar, Binuxit 8X30įield of View: 8.5 deg = 149 m/1,000 m APFOV 68 deg
