Message: <blockquote data-quote="danrs" data-source="post: 285046" data-attributes="member: 19708">Hoping someone can shed some light on this for me here.I was just given a set of Leitz 7x35b trinovid binoculars by my life long buddy.  They used to be his grandfathers (an avid outdoorsman), and he couldn't bear to see them sitting on a shelf collecting dust, so they were passed to me, who will use them often. What can anyone tell me about them?  I know they're good glass, and that Leitz is Leica, but little else.  They're absolutely spotless, like new, with leather case.  Appear to be at least as good of a bino as my Nikon Monarch ATB's, and then some.Any info regarding weather resistance / proofing, quality, value, etc., would be great.  Not to sure I want to get caught in the rain with these if they're not waterproof.Thanks in advance!</blockquote>
