| Choosing, Using & Repairing Binoculars (featured book) |
| by J. W. Seyfried - Now in its second big printing! |
 Here at last is the definitive text on binoculars, designed to help you become an expert on binoculars and how to use them. In the past, most "guides" to binoculars were little more than collections of manufacturer's literature bound into book form. Dr. Seyfried has pulled together over 45 years experience in the design, production, and repair of porro prism binoculars. With over 55 technical illustrations and photographs, just about every question regarding binoculars is answered. 172 pages. Highlights include: Step by step collimation (alignment) instructions --
Make your own collimator --- The "Navy" method of proper binocular focusing --- Popular binocular myths exposed --- How to clean optics without damaging them --- How to handle binocular salesmen and not be fooled (Including the story of the German binoculars that never saw Germany)! --- How to select binoculars, and much more.
