When I was a kid in high school, I blew the bank roll and bought a Leitz (made by Leica) Trinovid® 6x24 binocular for the Cardinals versus Cleveland Browns NFL game in St. Louis - to watch the finest running back of that generation, Mr. Jim Brown. When I no longer had the inclination to give the Bidwells - Cardinal owners at that time - any money, I sold the binocular.

Two generations later I seek this binocular again, specifically the version having rubber eye cups because I remember the binocular was also available with [harder] adjustable eye cups. I don't believe these eye cups will allow my "coke bottle" spectacles to get close enough to the ocular lenses for me to use them effectively.

At my age with my eye sight the more primitive lens coatings will not be a liability.

If anyone has this binocular or knows of one, I will appreciate an opportunity to buy it.

Naph, unless you want them purely for nostalgic reasons, there have been many advances in optical technology over the years since those were made, resulting in much better glass. Get a current Trinovid and soldier on!

I have one. I would sell it for $250 plus $15 shipping. New rubber eye cups needed. Comes with correct removable strap in a Zeiss case. If interested send me via PM your cell # or e-mail address.
