Tento 7x35 Bins

Postby Flanker » Sat Dec 01, 2012 11:22 am

Picked up a pair of these Russian bins (circa 1980) for about £20 on Ebay so that I don't have to leave my Carl Zeiss Jenoptems 8x30 rattling about in the jeep from now on.
They're a ridiculously good buy: very bright, big, sharp image.The Jenoptems are away being fixed and will be back next week. I'm looking forward to comparing the two - the Tento's look as if they might be better to use. Not in the same bracket as my main Minox 8x43 mind, but I'd say grab a pair if you see them. :thup:

Found a set of Swift Belmonts 8x40's in a charity shop last month £5 :grin: Cracking decent quality Japanese Bino's

Also have a old set of Jap Zenith 10x50's, still crystal clear!

Still LOVE my Jenoptems 8x30's too, one of the best buys on Ebay, problem is I have posted that info on plenty of shooting boards over the years, so the prices are going up :roll: Still worth it though!
