    Here's your full set of Brandon eyepieces and filters as of July 1968. Click on the above image for larger images. By this time the barrels had changed again. The writing now is on the eyepiece cap, rather than written horizontaly on the barrel as in the series made before.
    Brandon eyepieces in the late 1960's continued to improve. By Sept 1968 they were advertised as being parafocalized, and threaded to accept "Vernonscope Filters". (In the examples I own of the prior series Brandon oculars had NO provisions for filters at all due to lack of threads on the bottom of the eyepiece barrel.)They also were individually cased in a black vinyl pouch with belt loop. It should be noted that to this day Brandon threading is unique to Vernonscope filters only!
