Re: Id german optical equipment
Hi all,
I found this image on Ebay. I think a Flak Em 4, R(H) 34 or 36 rangefinder
Grzesio identified this equipment attached to the rangefinder as a Berichtigungsgeraet. See image posted on 15 Sep in this thread.
Which was the purpose of this equipment?

Re: Id german optical equipment
Hello Sturm78,
I'd suggest it's a 1,25m Stereo Rangefinder of CP.Goerz or OPL manufacture. The tripod does differ from an OPL version that I have, and looks identical to the tripods used for DF10x80 Flakglas.
I might be able to offer more information once I've looked at the original photo with a magnifying-glass!
Best regards,
Paul

Hello Sturn78,
Yes, OPL is an acronym for 'Optique et précision de Levallois'.
As regards your photo above, that's another French-manufactured rangefinder, either OPL or SOM, and I suspect is a 3-metre version as it's a single tube assembly whereas the 4m and 5m OPL versions have a central 2-metre section with 'clip-on' 1-metre or 1.5-metre extension limbs.
I'd suspect therefore that the soldiers are French or Belgian perhaps?
I have a 4-metre OPL unit that was either captured or manufactured under German occupation, and then sold to Finland. It bears all three types of languages, and had been designated a model 'AC5'. The tripod and main base unit upon-which the main tube sits look identical in the photo to that of my 4-metre unit (although I suspect it's actually shorter), but, as I said above, the main tube assembly is quite different to that of the 4 and 5-metre rangefinders. On my 'AC5' the tube has OPL markings, and the Tripod / Base have SOM markings.
Cheers for now,
Paul

Hi,
These might be interest of some forum members, especially Sturm78, I suppose. Please I don´t ask ME, what exactly they are. Hopefully not presented before.
