I was just teasing you and doing what is called 'yanking your chain' in Kansas City slang - a prank or joke. Bought them as used for a typical good used price.īentleyg, i am sorry for doing that. I'm more worried that they're some sort of grey or black import of the genuine product.
LEITZ BINOCULARS 8X20 SERIAL NUMBER
If a company was prepared to stick Leica logos on they may as well add a fake serial number as well. The performance compares with my aging Zeiss 8x30BTs and the build quality seems ok.

Regarding serial number history I would suggest contacting Leica Camera Ltd UK or back to the company in Wetzlar, Germany who are more likely to hold this type of information. Under the pullup eyecups on the black sleeve.right hand side in white graphics, this is for the Leica Trinovid BA or BN rubber armoured, on Black leather they should be 'punched in' / stamped on the sleeve or the barrel. Other bins I have have them on the pivot nut but not my Leicas. Where are these numbers? My 8x32BN doesn't seem to have one.

It is especially a problem if you wear glasses while using the binoculars. The newer Leica 8x20 have lenses with considerably larger diameter.

And while nice, I always had some problems with their smallish eyepiece lenses. (Leitz has changed the name to Leica prior to my purchase of the above mentioned date.) I used to own one of those 8x20 Leitz binoculars.
