Every now and then it gets taken out alongside one of its descendants. Bought from the shop opposite Kings College, Cambridge, on impulse because the sun was shining and concern that supplies might dry up when the Berlin wall came down.Not my first binoculars or my last and certainly not my best, but possibly the most loved, like that old moth eaten jacket that survives against all reasonable odds.</blockquote>
