Our bino viewers are equipped
with either Zeiss ring dovetail (Mark
V) or T-2 coupling nut (MaxBright I).
The MaxBright II can be used with
either the T-2 coupling nut or the
ring dovetail. We recommend using
the ring dovetail, as this allows the
glass path correctors 1.25x and
1.7x to be mounted directly in the
bino and makes handling much
more convenient.
For bino viewers with Zeiss ring
dovetail
, proceed as follows:
Remove the Clicklock
®
clamp as described on page 8 and replace it with the Dia-
mond Steeltrack
®
T-2 adapter
# 2957202
. Screw the T-2 quick changer (TQC heavy
duty T-2 quick changer # 2456313A or T-2 standard quick changer with Zeiss micro
bayonet
# 2456313
) to the T-2 thread of
# 2957202
. Now you can attach the large field
binocular to the T-2 changer.
The glasspath correctors 1.25x and
1.7x are screwed into the ring dovetail
located on the bino viewer as usual
without the black centering ring.
The glass path corrector 2.6x
is placed in the S58/T-2 adapter
# 2957202
. It is then only held in
place by the ring dovetail of the at-
tached binocular. If there is suffici-
ent backfocus, you can also fix the black centering ring
with a T-2 intermediate ring 7.5mm
# 1508155
and leave
it installed.
For bino-viewers with T-2 thread
, proceed as follows:
The optical length with a T-2 coupling nut is only slight-
ly shorter than with a T-2 quick coupler. Therefore, all the
information given above applies accordingly. However,
the bayonet quick coupler is omitted.
In this case, the glass path corrector is always placed
in the S58/T-2 adapter
# 2957202
(the flat collar points
to the binocular, the lens mount to the telescope) and
clamped through the binocular. Now the black centring
ring can be removed, if necessary, and the binocular
attached to the Herschel prism. If there is sufficient
backfocus, you can also insert the glass path corrector
into a T-2 extension ring 7.5 mm
# 1508155
and leave
the centring ring inserted.
The glasspath correctors for bino-
viewers with T-2-thread and the 2.6x
glasspath corrector are simply placed
into the T-2-adapter. The may be fixed
with T-2 extension 7,5mm
# 1508155
.
The 1,25x and 1,7x glasspath correctors can be mounted in the
bino-viewer's dovetail. On the right is the Herschel prism with
T-2 quick-changer.
The ClickLock
®
can be replaced with the S58/T-2-adapter
# 2957202
. The Filterholder remains at the Herschel prism
