    How Palestinians in Gaza came to love birdwatching

    $5500 (U.S.) for pocket binoculars? Is it even a Leitz?

    What is this guy selling? An off-brand called Hermes in the Pocket, as stated in the title? Or a Leitz Trinovid, as shown in the photos? https://www.ebay.com/itm/165949563949?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ZoPteL3lRZi&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=-6shFLYRT3y&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=MORE
