Greetings from central mountain Arizona.
I found this place while looking for information on Leitz Trinovid serial numbers; nothing else on the web comes close to the information I discovered here.
Have just had my offer accepted for an early Trinovid 10x40 that I found on eBay (see attached picture). According to the table I found here (also attached) it would have to be one of the first ever made, in 1962. The seller is reputable and allows returns, so I can’t really lose. Having lived in Germany for over a decade, I am a huge fan of these older optics and their retro feel. This glass comes with the original case, too.
I sit outside with my dog every afternoon to see what I can see. There is a pair of great horned owls around here somewhere. I hear them at night, but have never spotted them.
My other binocular at the moment is a newer Trinovid 8x20 BCA, which has an odd chemical smell, seemingly permanent, after having been left too many times in my hot car. I would like to get hold of two more Trins: a 10x25 and an 8x32.
Dog is a ten-year-old Shiba Inu girl named Buffy.
That should be enough to start us off. Looking forward to comments.
