Schott has facilities in Asia as well. I’ll say this...it’s my honest opinion that the 8x42 Tract offers an alpha quality view. Simply fantastic

Was looking for something a little smaller and lighter than my 10x42 meostars but with quality glass. Hopefully these will fit the bill perfectly.

That has my interest.. Are you part of the problem or part of the solution?

The tracts are actually a tad longer but aren’t as big around or as heavy. Attached Images 9E219809-37C8-4AE6-BF4F-3129DB74DD5F.jpeg (33.76 KB, 135 downloads) Last edited by ShortMag11; 04/25/21.

You can see a fairly significant weight difference here.

The tract is the superior optic imho in all aspects. Both are excellent and alpha class imho as well

Meostars win for me, but the Tracts aren't very far behind.... Eyepiece is way more solid on the meopta, too.
