I am a fan of David Attenborough since I first saw the Life on Earth when I was 11. He introduced me in natural history as Sagan introduced me in astronomy and cosmology. Now the Internet gives me the opportunity to enjoy most of his shows and I've seen many full series the last year.
I noticed thet he used to carry binoculars very often. They are always roofs, 32-42mm wide. He uses several pairs throughout the 60 years he is active. Some seem metallic and carry battle wounds. Other, recently, seem rubber armored. They are always without caps. I tried to see the red circle or the blue rectangular or the flying bird on them but not once they were obvious. They might be of a British maker I don't know of course. In one of the recent shows one 32mm pair looked like a Swarovski but I'm not sure.
The facts that his shows lived the Konrad Lorentz geese studies, Miller's experiment, the double helix model discovery and then the human genome project, the continental drift theory establishement, the first filming of birds of prey and Snow Leopard , the SCUBA invention, infrared camera and other filming techniques first use and so many science and technology advancements are much more interesting but I can find much information on these. There's no info on which binoculars he preferred and used throughout his career that hasn't stopped yet. I guess that if there's info on that, this is the place to find it.
So? What do you know about David Attenborough's binoculars?
