Leitz binocular prices exceeds my budget and I really love to use these lenses and binoculars.

I decided to build a two boxes , one box with glass at the back of the lens and other box for cutting the flare on the glass.

What is the real radius of image from these lenses and what would be the glass to lens distance ?

May be I can buy a hasselblad colorless filter to put as glass.

MUST I frost the glass ?

How about some inexpensive Chinese binoculars?
