The Prussian Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) Hello! I´ve got a Hensoldt 8x30 of the 50s. It was made for the french army (stamped: Armée Francaise) Now I need both "Okularringe". I don´t know the english word for it. Maybe eyepieces? Does someone know, where I can get them, please? Edited August 28, 2017 by The Prussian
peter monahan Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 In English we'd call them the 'eyepieces', which is actually not nearly as an exact description as 'ocular ring', the direct translation!
The Prussian Posted August 28, 2017 Author Posted August 28, 2017 Hello Peter! Thanks a lot for your help! So I just need an adress where I can get it...
Bayern Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 The Prussian : They are hard to find pieces , because were made of baquelite were prone to break .
The Prussian Posted August 30, 2017 Author Posted August 30, 2017 Hello! I don´t need an original, so I don´t care about the material. It´s important I can use the binoculars
peter monahan Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 I'd suggest you contact/visit a good optics shop - some place which sells telescopes, bicoulars and so on. They can likely measure the exact dimensions - diameter and thread pitch - of what you need and provide you with either the eyepieces or a place to order them. However, I agree with Bayern that it may be tricky, as parts for old optics are not that common.
The Prussian Posted September 1, 2017 Author Posted September 1, 2017 Hello Peter! Yes, I´ve about that the piecec are rare. I asked different optc shops, but the prices they wanted to charge were so ***** high, that I could buy a complete one... Like I said, I don´t want an 100% original one, because I don´t collect binoculars, I just need it, when we visit some battlefields.
Farkas Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Hi The Prussian just a thought, it's a long shot though... but perhaps if it's just the actual glass lens' you need? Maybe these on eBay have the same size? As I said... long shot! Best of luck with your search tony
The Prussian Posted September 1, 2017 Author Posted September 1, 2017 Hello! Oh no, that´s a different one. There ain´t no eyepieces I need
The Prussian Posted September 1, 2017 Author Posted September 1, 2017 It looks better, but it' s not a Hensoldt. I don' t know if others fit
Farkas Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Might be worth a try for 10 pound.... The Hensoldt's are all well pricey. 300 - 400 for those.... ill keep an eye open anyway best of luck Sir tony
The Prussian Posted September 1, 2017 Author Posted September 1, 2017 Thanks a lot Tony! But I will wait a while, maybe I' ll find some in Kassel at the Military bourse.
Bayern Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 The Prussian : Find a friend with a complete binoculars , then a dentist technician to make an acrylic or resin copy of the rings .
The Prussian Posted September 2, 2017 Author Posted September 2, 2017 Hello! That would be more expensive than new binoculars...
Bayern Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 The Prussian : Im sorry , here in Argentina, is not so expensive .
The Prussian Posted September 3, 2017 Author Posted September 3, 2017 The only cheap article here is beer...
