This is a great kzread.infoUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W8hE monocular. It adjusts easily and works well in most conditions. I attached a pic of the view through my phone (iPhone 13 max pro). With some more adjustments it would probably be fine. I would just use this by holding up to my eye and forget trying to capture pics through my phone. It comes with an attachment piece to your phone, a tripod, a lanyard, cleaning cloth and a holster that can be worn on your belt. Overall the image quality is good.

The restoration videos for consoles actually helped me figure out the problems with a gamecube and Gameboy Advanced I found in my landlord's basement and how to fix them. Your style of videos may not be flashy or attention getting, but the style of them is so comforting and educational! It's a part of why i'm starting to get into restoration!

Bravo, ready for the next 100 years!

One of the best optics manufacturer out there. Great job restoring their part of history. That most don't know. They make some of the best camera lens not yet most don't know the history, And most don't know that Zeiess started with sniper scopes. Which is funny cause they make some of the best lens for cameras now yet most don''t know the history on the cmapany. And yes if you can pay for it still still makes scopes yet they are the high end of price just like their camera lens,.

You're like that cool uncle that is always tinkering in the garage. I admire your knowledge and skills. Please keep the videos coming! :)

I like how it doesn't look to brand new just. I like new old stock restos like this

Especially the leather coating process was like the cherry on the cake.

I have such huge respect for people like you who see these items in terrible condition and think "yes, I can give this a new life" especially something seemingly useless or unwanted like this monocular. Being that it's from ww1 I'm surprised it survived this long and I'm very happy to see it looking new again.

The prisms aren't in there to flip or unflip the image, they're there to increase the effective distance the light travels between the objective lens and the eyepiece. The magnification factor is essentially the result of the strength of the eyepiece which is limited by certain things, and the distance the light travels between the lenses. Binoculars need to be quite short to be useful (otherwise they'd be a real strain to hold to your eyes) so clever people found ways to make light travel farther than the length of the thing it's inside.

I have to admit I'm a total history nerd, with warfare being my particular passion. Whilst I prefer ancient warfare, I do know quite a bit about the two world wars. I had family fight in them and 5 great uncles died in WW1, the sixth came back with terrible problems due to mustard gas. Even though he died whilst I was still under 10, I remember his terrible breathing and some of the few stories he told me. I think he started my interest in historical warefare and frontline medicine. The monocular you have is what a commissioned officer from WW1 would've had, such as a lieutenant. The commissioned officers were wealthy and could afford such luxuries. Others, such as NCOs and ordinary soldiers had to make do with makeshift 'periscopes'. Larger and more easily seen by enemy snipers. To see this monocular, that my own great uncles would've seen senior officers using similarly at the battlefields they fought and died on (two being Ypres and the Somme), so lovingly well restored makes my heart happy. It looks as if some posh young officer is just about to pick it up before going off to France, thinking it would all be over by Christmas 1914............THANK YOU on behalf of all of us who had family fight in a conflict.

You did a great job. I've been working as a contractor for carl zeiss, or jenoptik as they're called now, before and i've learned how sensitive these lenses can be. I figure that a WW1 monocular is more robust than what they do today, but still needs to be handled with caution, which is what you did. I also liked how you explained how these optics work in general, and if I wasn't already subscribed to your channel, man you'd have earned it with this one. Keep on going with the good work, best wishes.

Zeiss -Jena made incredible high quality and sharpness optic devices, you not only have a piece of history from WWI, you have too an excelent monocular.

this was the finest representation of restoration. carl zeiss is synonymous with leica and contax,
