Hello Aicman,
I see what I said as totally natural or instinctive. Is the same machanism or fundation of the orctoptic or "peep" sights! The human eyes allways try to look throught the center! I did not said it is imposible to look around the edges of the binocular field but the eyes must be forced to do it. Anyway, the "sweet spot" in the FL, at least in the 10x42 as mine, is large enough FOR ME, and they give me a very relaxed long time view, even at dusk or down...! It is a pleasure to be hunting in the Andes, around my home with the kind of view the FLs, the vivid colours, the sharp contrasts and the superb resolution...I am useing binoculars from the past 45 years and I am very picky about them...I sold a pristine and great Leica BA to buy the Victory FL and I never regreted it!
Regards
PH

I'm not involved in Zeiss company or with any other optic companies but had chance to test and abuse lots of their products.
Met Mr Jensen in december in Zeiss at Wetzlar, tested the new Victory HT and hunted a bit with him among others.
For sure, all he writes here, is the absolute truth. These new Victory HT will be a breakthrough in optical market, the new goal to aim for other makers.
Not to forget: Mr Jensen is really a MAN, the one who stand behind his products and knows what he speaks about.
Too bad we need to wait a bit for the Victory HT scopes on the market in Europe too.

Thanks. Not sure who this is, but I spent time with a lot of people over there in December. Appreciate the good words. Now I have to live up to them

Mike, I hope the new HTs are selling well... What is the feedback you are getting on them, and is there any possibility of 8x32s hitting the market anytime soon. Thank you! BBerg

BBerg, Victory HT orders are coming in well and I expect this to continue It's an incredible binocular We will begin delivery to the market in August, and should have product in most dealers by late August.
No chance on the 32mm HT in the near future... however, Conquest HD 32mm binos will launch very soon, with August deliveries. The NEW Conquest HD's are cleaning up market reviews all agreeing that they are excellent. The 32mm will also be in this premium quality/moderate price category, appx $100 less than the 42's. News to come soon on this product.

Mike:
Does that mean production will or has been discontinued on the 32 and 42mm FL's? How about the big 56 FL ?

News to come soon on this product. Mr. Jenson: I thought I'd try again, you seem to reply to some asking about your optics. You first mentioned the new Zeiss HT back in Feb. so I thought you would reply to a question from a Zeiss owner who has, or has had the Zeiss 8x42 FL and a 10x56. What is the current status of the FL. They are a very good optic, and I am wondering about how the current range of sizes will continue. You mentioned the Conquest, and I did handle one, a new 8x42HD at a store recently. I thought it was alright, but it is not a Victory. Let us know. Jerry

Those Zeiss HT looks good. Is there any review on them yet?
