Thank you for the info regarding the gold molecular coatings. Very interesting to know. Me & my daughter have also been using them for birding & they are very nice for this. They are also quite nice for stargazing. The fov is brilliant. 👍

Brilliant. Thank you gents for the info. Very much appreciated.

Hi Carbon. It's not that I am asking for help regarding the twist up eye relief rings & them being uncomfortable (they are not), I'm asking for information regarding age, model etc as I cannot find another pair with this style of eye relief twist up rings. All of the other Chinons (country man included) I have found have either molded eye cups or rubber eye rings but none with the metal twist up eye relief rings. Anybody know what model I have please? Thanks Mark

Hi all. I'm new here & have a huge interest in binoculars & stargazing. I am hoping that your collective experience & knowledge can shed some light on a pair of marketplace binoculars I picked up locally for £10. They are Chinon 7x35 porros. Pretty straight forward up to this point. Thing is, I can't find any others with the twist up eye relief rings. They are made in Japan & there is a in print of LB101. I must say that they have a lovely wide fov & the optics are supprisingly good. Please see pictures and any input is really very much appreciated. Mark.
