Canadian Forces 7x30 and 7x50 binoculars

[Colin Alford]

Frank,

I located the Leech and Kubetz article you referenced here: https://vdocument.in/canadian-made-b...e.html?page=10

I do not believe that I have ever seen that type of binocular in service, although evidently 1 PPCLI had some in stock in 2014. During my service, I have used either the old ELCANS, or the M22 ( and one pair of massive Steiners while overseas).

There is some potential that those Fujinon 7x30s were local purchase or left-over after a trial (more research required).

It appears that they might be “SHS” series: http://s3.amazonaws.com/szmanuals/88...58db2763482b1e
