Description: Vintage Selsi Lightweight 7x50 binocular, V.G. cond. Exc. optics. THE GOOD:Another ace performer with a surprising lack of haze.The color of its view is totally natural. Clarity and sharpness are excellent and it is pleasantly bright for a binocular that doesn’t seem to have been given any anti-reflective coating. Using a 1951 U.S.A.F. resolution test target, set at 30 yards, this 7x50 resolved group -1, element 6 at center FOV and group -1, element 3 at three degrees off of center. This equals the performance of my Zeiss 7x50.Eye lenses measure about 15mm diameter.No scratches beyond micro on any lens as far as I can detectGreat depth of focus.Eccentric rings for collimation.No double vision and the unit is fungus free.The central hinge is firm and will hold IPD.Central focus is smooth and light. The diopter is smooth yet well damped and will hold position.The outer covering is intact and non-tacky to the touch.Screw slots are clean and sharp - not bunged from previous disassembly.No floating debris inside to blemish the view. THE BAD:One prism on the right side has a small inclusion that does not detrimentally affect the view.Also, not as cheap as other Lightweights offered on Ebay. But, this one isn't a grab bag mystery item either.Some buff marks on the finish - mostly on edges that you would expect to be rubbed over time.External condition may be judged by the photos provided. Return PolicyTwo Rules: You can send it back for any reason. Did your spouse tear you a new one for spending money? Did you just change your mind? Have you always wanted to compare what you already have to what I sent you? No worries! But, it has to come back as good as it went out, so don’t drop it. If you’re buying it from me then it’s with the understanding that I am the sole arbiter over whether it has been returned in the same condition in which it was sent. Much of what I sell is used/vintage and has imperfections to prove it. Just don’t add to them or you own it. Altered collimation is an exception, as collimation can be lost during rough handling in shipping. All refunds will be made minus return shipping costs. Reasonable? Fair to both parties?
