| The pre-sale estimate is £140-£180 for this collection of binoculars which includes Vesper Superfield 10x50, Zeiss Jenoptem 10x50 and Hanoptik 20x60 |
A FASCINATING array of binoculars, cameras, accessories and other optical equipment will this week go under the hammer at an auction in Yorkshire.
For any interested birders, one of the star lots (3248) will be a pair of Swarovski Optik EL 10x42 SV binoculars for which the pre-sale estimate is £400-£600.

Predicted to sell for a lesser amount is a collection of older binocular models, of various brands, where the guide price for the total is £140-£180.
Likely to be of limited value in the field but definitely of interest as a talking-point collector’s item is Lot 3246 - a brass refracting telescope.
Also up for grabs are scores of cameras and accessories, often several included within a single lot.
One item is an a Olympus OM10 camera which, bizarrely, is being sold alongside a Hohner button accordion.
The on-the-premises sale, which will also accommodate telephone and online bids, is to be held tomorrow (Wednesday September 27) by Tennants of Leyburn.
It also includes a whole orchestra’s worth of musical instruments, plus Fender electric guitars and, in good time for Halloween (if somewhat morbidly). . . a human half-skeleton with skull.
