Manufacturer/Model: Leitz Wetzlar, Bidoxit 6X30
Field of View: 8.5 deg = 149 m/1,000 m; APFOV 51 deg
Weight: 482 gr
Exit Pupil: 5 mm
Serial #/Year of Manufacture: 590369, estimate manufactured late 1950’s – early 1960’s
Notes: The Leitz Bidoxit 6X30 was introduced in 1927 and manufactured until 1962 when Leitz discontinued all of its Porro prism models in favor on the roof prism Trinovids.
This is a superb binocular and beyond doubt one of the best performing 6X30’s in the collection. Its build appears identical to that of the Leitz Binuxit 8X30 (see www.flickr.com/photos/46330704@N08/6329313798/in/photolis... ) except the Binuxit has wide-angle three lens oculars while the Bidoxit 6X30 has two lens ones. Both binoculars have the same actual fields of view and both were introduced and discontinued the same years. The Binuxit is a better known and more popular binocular and today on eBay will usually sell for at least twice that of a Bidoxit. And truth be told if I could have only one binocular and had to choose between the two, it would be the Binuxit because the 8X30 offers an extra 2X magnification with an otherwise very similar view. However, the Bidoxit does have certain advantages over its big and more famous brother: 1) Most importantly, under normal daylight conditions the view is slightly but still noticeably brighter because of greater light transmission due to its simpler ocular design i.e. only four air-glass surfaces in the two lens Bidoxit ocular as opposed to six in the three lens Binuxit ocular. Also under low light conditions the Bidoxit’s view would be a little brighter due to its larger exit pupil. 2) 6X binoculars are less affected by shake giving a steadier image. And 3) The Bidoxit is about 30 grams lighter. The Bidoxit does excel for backyard viewing where distances aren’t too great and binocular magnification not critical . And during the 1920’s – 1930’s before the introduction of anti-reflective coated optics, I suspect the superior light transmitting qualities of the Bidoxit would have been more apparent and the model would have been more popular then than it was after WW II.
Included with the binocular tucked away at the bottom of the case was an United States “Import Certificate”, the first of these I have seen. See View 2: www.flickr.com/photos/binocwpg/9439060390/in/photostream/ .

A nice visit to the National Railway Museum, unfortunately it was a very bright day which meant all the exhibits were very reflective.

Assignment52-462013 - Reflections
I know of only one pond that I can gain access to and it is at the Agricultural History Museum so I went there intending to try to get photos of reflections. Well, of course, that day there was far too much wind across the water and no reflections to be had. So in order to get my reflections shot I played with my photo in PicMonkey and produced these great reflections!
Lol. If this is stretching things too far I will remove it - I do have reflections in a window in case!
Just managed to get out before i lost the light today. another go at HDR i know some people don't like this sort of work but i like to keep my hand in as sometimes the effect of HDR can really make a shot in my opinion. these are taken using 9 exposures and then blended in Photomatix, and just a slight adjustment on levels and curves as always.as Always i welcome you to make comments or constructive criticism.
LARGER IS BETTER

When you think of someone you admire..........
What qualities come to mind??....Down to earth??..honest??
Perhaps a list of ten great qualities stand out.
Those are the same qualities that YOU POSSESS YOURSELF
but in the same turn.....
A dislike certain qualities in people....things that just really stand out
These are the things within you that may need a little work.
This is an old antique mirrow hanging in living room and I noticed that the neighbours from two doors down were moving and were using a big yellow van which was picked up by the mirror through the blinds on the window. You can make out the shadows of the neighbours against the yellow of the van as they were about to get inside and drive away.
Southbound 101 Freeway, heading through Hollywood Hills from The Valley, around 6:00 a.m. Day of The Big Move(s): clearing out my mom's apartment and driving her up to her new domicile near us in Camarillo, CA. She endured a stroke several weeks earlier, so our life is changing once again.
reflection in time
remembering past images
