Very nice binocs, Love the fact they are East German. I have a pair of German army issue they are quality for sure being 40+ years old and still crystal clear .
From what I saw you have the only video on YT regarding these glasses.. and for that I thank you. Just received a set and had many questions you answered, Greetings from Alaska, and again, thank you.
It is indeed the IR detector. Behind the window there is a lens with a special coating that is intended to show IR light sources. But before it needs to be "charged" by the sunlight (UV-rays). Then the lens is rotated by the knob next to the window into the tube (as shown in the video). But as the coating contains an element that weakens over time, these devices, which are mostly more than 30 years old, won´t work anymore today.
@@BlackForestReconУ меня ior Valdada 7×40 1978 года производства ( почти полный аналог данного бинокля на видео) и его инфракрасный детектор (фильтр) и сейчас работает нормально. Социалистические военные приборы делались очень качественно и лет 100-150 они точно смогут работать! 😊
Инфракрасный фильтр (слева на бинокле) прекрасно работает на этих биноклях производства оптической промышленности социалистической Германии. Просто поворачиваете крутящуюся ручку, внутри перед окуляром выдвигается специальный полупрозрачный тёмный фильтр и в темноте (или в полутьме) я и сейчас вижу в такой же мой бинокль источники инфракрасного излучения, даже со 100-150 метров хорошо видны работающие видеокамеры с инфракрасным излучением, в темноте будут видны и все военные приборы ночного видения излучающие инфракрасные лучи во время работы...😊
Hi!, i just bought the reticle iluminator but i have not tried it because the plug is not the actual european one. How do you tested it? Did you got an adaptor? I discover a spare bulb in the plug. That is very smart!. Greetings from Denmark!
Greetings! I got the iluminator with an aftermarket batterie pack from Duncker (see link below). It´s not very cheap and I´m sure that you can make such a device on your own but I´m no electronic expert and I don´t have the time to do it either. The spare bulb is cool but I was a bit disappointed because I had hoped that you can install one of those LED bulbs that you can buy for vintage flashlights. There´s certainly a way to install a LED anyway but the same applies as above. I will certainly make this video about the iluminator soon and I even found a nice location for it. www.ebay.de/itm/Beleuchtung-Set-DF-7x40-Strichplattenbeleuchtung-komplett-inkl-Batteriepack/173623236661?hash=item286cc05835:g:g9QAAOSwOv1b3wvV
Hi! I admire your videos! You seem to be able to capture the full FOV with the camera, in focus, and very stable while moving about. Can you give me any pointers on how to make these videos? Do you have the camera chest-mounted? Thanks!
It´s actually very simple: I use a Canon Ixus Camera which is fitted to a night vision device headmount. This way I have the camera display direct in front of my eyes and both hands free.
I have this same exact pair of binos. They have a seven digit serial number beginning with 333 and are in brand new condition much like yours. Any idea if what they are actually worth and who would be interested in collecting them ? Super sharp looking !!
Здравствуйте, Сразу хочу поблагодарить вас за ваши очень интересные ролики с полезной информацией, для любителей биноклей и не только. В ваших видео можно также просто наслаждаться прекраснейшими панорамами. Спасибо! Подскажите пожалуйста какую батарейку нужно использовать в данной модели бинокля для подсветки шкалы. Благодарю вас заранее.
Hi Black forest Recon, What is the function of the small plate with the red dot on the right side of the eyepiece? Many thanks and congrats for the quality of your videos.
Mint condition early model with straight eye cups and thin body armor...Iam jealous!seriously.Did you acquire them recently and if so how much and from where?
Lieber BFR Kónnen Sie vielleicht der Objectiv und Oculár diameter messen? Ich habe ein IOR Valdada und vielleicht passt die kappe satz von dieser NVA Fernrohr! Danke
Der schwarze Kreis ist ein Fenster. Dahinter befindet sich eine beschichtete Linse, die über die UV-Strahlung in der Umgebung aufgeladen wird. Mit dem Rädchen wird diese Linse in den Sichtgang eingeschwenkt. Durch die UV-Strahlung wird ein Isotop auf der Beschichtung aktiviert und man kann Infrarotlichtquellen aufspüren. So habe ich das Prinzip zumindest verstanden. Da das Isotop mit der Zeit aber schwächer wird, funktionieren diese Infrarot-Detektoren in der Regel nicht mehr. Die Gläser sind ja alle mindestens 30 Jahre alt.
Definitely one of my favorite videos from your channel. I am still looking for this particular Zeiss model. What is your opinion of the Notarem 10x40B? Best regards / MfG.
Thanks! The early version of the DF 7x40 is increasingly hard to find even on german ebay these days. But you find a lot of the newer versions in good condition. I don´t know the Notarem 10x40B since I mostly collect military binos - so I can´t say anything about it. Greetings
Would you recommend to get one if this models? Is there any remarkable difference in quality from older models compared with new ones (as the dekarems/jenoptems)?. I personally like the DF and i have found several items at good price. Thanks !!
Since I don´t own one of these newer versions yet I can´t actually say anything about the difference. But I suspect that the difference in terms of optics should not be significant.
@@BlackForestReconЧем отличается ранняя версия еdf 7x40 от более поздней? Какие этот бинокль имеет плюсы? Какая у него ширина поля в градусах? Он лучше показывает, чем ior 7x40 или Б 7х30?
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Kauf! Hast Du die neue oder die alte Version? Ich habe mir gestern die Beleuchtung für die Strichplatte bestellt. Sobald sie da ist, werde ich mal ein Video davon machen. Viel Spaß mit dem DF!
Ich habe die neue Version gekriegt aus Berlin. Vergutung is lila, Optik ist sauber, aber es braucht leichtes Diopterausstellung, neue Augenmuscheln und die originale Trageriennen. (Es stort mich nicht). Gummiarmierung und Metalteilen zeigen das diese FG echtes Dienst gehabt hat. Bin sehr zufrieden aufgrund des Preis. Jetzt, ich muss lernen wie man muss die Strichtplatte benutzt soll. Danke fuer deine Rat und Videos!..(entschuldigung fuer mein Deutsch) MfG aus DK!
I have been looking for a copy of the user manual of this model without success, do you know if there is a guide about how to use the IR detector and how to use the reticle? Thanks!!
Thank you for showing this old treasure. We also have one similar, but Mdi 7x40. The layout is the same, I don't know what is the difference. Do you know what is the coating on the filter of the Ir detector? Could it be renewed somehow?
moin, sag..woher bekomme ich diese augenmuscheln für s df 7x40 wie du sie hast...ich habe diesen doofen teleskopaugenmuscheln ..und hätte gerne die gleichen wie auf deinem glas !!??
Guck mal bei ebay bzw. ebay kleinanzeigen. Das sind die Augenmuscheln von der alten Version. DIe dürften separat schwieriger zu bekommen als die von der neuen Version (also die Teleskope).
Nice binocular, nice video. In Yugoslavia army we had Zrak Sarajevo binoculars 7x40. Looks the same like this German products. So, who did original - Yugoslavia or Germany? Cheers :)
BlackForestRecon ok that means for planes sorry for bad english i am from serbia and serbian armed forces use ZRAK binoculars only or something else???
No problem! I guess it´s for IR-beams of all sorts (from NVDs, vehicles, planes etc.). But as the max. range is only 300m it might not be well suited for planes at all.

😊 какого он примерно года выпуска? А я видел окуляры с большими и редкими насечками, а вас маленькие и частые насечки. Какие бинокли более ранние?
I have a pair of these without the reticle Illuminator. I would like to see how the infrared detector works.
I payed 15years ago 200€. Thats nothing for this original Carl Zeiss Jena Optik. Cristal clear sight, even at night. Weight is 1kg
Can you give quick course how to calculate a range of an object with these kind of reticle? It would be deeply appreciated.
What is red window on left side? Is that for the IR detector? but how does it work?

Здравствуйте. Подскажите пожалуйста, эти бинокли всех годов выпуска имеют покрытие линз?Заранее благодарю, я подписан на Ваш канал.
Насколько мне известно, эти бинокли были поставлены с линзами фильтра, но используемые модели часто отсутствуют. Спасибо за просмотр!
я хотел узнать о покрытии обьективов. есть у них многослойное или простое покрытие в бин.ранних годов выпуска?
@@ДимитрийТ-ь6э О, ты имеешь в виду покрытие линз. Итак, у меня есть эта более старая версия, копия более новой версии, и обе имеют покрытие линз.
Да,я это хотел узнать,именно покрытие, многослойное или простое. Спасибо Вам большое за ответ.
С уважением Димитрии.
@@ДимитрийТ-ь6э По моим данным, бинокль DF7x40 имеет простое покрытие. Многократное покрытие появилось сначала в бинокль EDF7x40.

I have the Polish PZO 7x45 it has very good optics, I have learned that Carl Zeiss Jena also supplied the lenses to Poland.

You can attach a device to illuminate the reticle. Thanks for your comment - I´m glad that you like my videos.
@@BlackForestRecon Have you ever tried to put some LED light into that Illuminator device? I'm planning to 3-D print such a thing if it works
Video is 7:40 long and the binoculars are 7X40 🤔😏
This is definitely not a coincidence 😊

also 2.5 meter is the height of the American M1 Abrams tank.
I've got one as well -- should the IR detector always be blurry?
All IR detectors that I looked through so far were blurry. I guess it´s because of the age..
What is that red lense for after you turn the knob and look through the binoculars?
That´s the IR-Detector to detect infrared light sources. But it doesn´t work anymore..

According to the service regulations (DV-41/68) that were enacted for this bino the detector is for searching IR-Beams up to distances of 300m.
