Grumpy old bugger
Hi
New to this forum and to birdwatching, so any help would be appreciated. I have two pairs of old, but excellent condition binoculars, which I am giving to my wife and daughter. The first pair are Carl Zeiss Zena Porro 8x30 and were made in DDR in 1960's. The other pair are Swift Porro Grand Prix 8x40. Both pairs have served me well over many years and I have had no complaints as to their quality.
Can anyone tell me anything about the Zeiss bonoculars as they were my late father's. I do recall that he acquired them in the late 1960's and he used them for horse racing. They are quite heavy relative to new models and are made of metal. They are in excellent condition
