Yashica 12x50. JB142. Made in Japan. Circa 1960

            I bought this Yashica recently to complete my Yashica binoculars collection. This model is more difficult to find than their brothers.
I don't like much high magnification in budget or low cost binoculars because usually you need very good adjust and optic to get good performance with high power but this Yashica is clearly different. Image is very sharp across entire field of view (excellent in the center) and chromatic aberration is really minimal. Body adjust and focus is accurate without slack despite his age (almost 60 years, I think). Bk7 prisms and fully coated optic. In resume, good quality,  playing a step over similar Japanese ones from 60s and 70s.
