Hi Red Orchestra Team!

[WickedPenguin]

Yes exactly, Zeiss is a worldwide Producer of Lenses for diverent Task, be it military or civilian Applications, in the second World War it was mostly know for the Targeting Scopes on Tanks.

It's also producing Binoculars, Monoculars, Mircoscopes (also Raster-Electron) and Telescopes.

Exactly. Just like nowadays BMW, Mercedes Benz, and Porsche are known for their "cool civilian cars", back in WWII they created the engines for the Focke Wulf-190 fighter (BMW 801 radial engine), Messerschmitt Bf-109 (Daimler-Benz[SIZE=-1]DB 605 engine[/SIZE] ) and the Tiger tank prototype (Porsche Type 101/1).

the scariest part is how many people dont know how to properly use it. But still have a copy on their harddisk just because it looks cool.

(and in the meanwhile edit their photo's with some stupid HP program they got with their camera)

Zeiss, Leitz (Leica), Swarovski, Steiner, Kahles...

German (and Austrian) optics. 'Nuff said.

 

[Jaesperson]

always thought leica was russian or something. from russia, but reliable (like an AK47)

 

[PUTZ]

Karl Zeiss = German

 

[Death_Eagle_571]

LOL!!! And yeah, Zeiss makes very good optics, but isnt Swarvoski polish or somethin?

 

[[CoFR]BooBoo]

Swarovski is Austrian. Leica is German. When Germany was partitioned after WWII, the Soviets ended up with several of Leica's lens manufacturing facilities (in what became East Germany). Unfortunately most of the employees ended up in WEST Germany after fleeing from the advancing Russian hordes. Still, they did get some good optics in the exchange.

When my grandfather came home from WWI (that's dubya dubya ONE) he brought home a pair of 10x50 Leica binoculars off of a German officer. Brass bodied with leather wrappings, a really beautiful pair of binocs. Absolutely superb optical quality when I tried them out, and that was 70 years or so after they were made.
