While browsing the B & H Photo website yesterday I happened to notice that they are listing the Zeiss Terra 8X42 and 10X42 as a New Arrival with camo armoring. I believe the USA market has only been offering it in black until now. Looks like the camo model is about $20 more. The only site I found it on so far is B & H. I could not find anything on the Zeiss site.

How about a camo Zeiss HT?
I associate most camo binoculars with the lower price scale. So if camo conveys a lower end product, then I doubt we would see a camo HT any time soon.
If I were looking for a binocular primarily for hunting, the HT would be my first choice. Zeiss marketing for the HT introduction was heavily geared for the hunting crowd. It seems a camo HT would be a good fit, but from a marketing stand point, that my not convey the image Zeiss wants for a $2,000 binocular.
Maybe they could follow the Leica example and come out with a special edition limited Camo model. Tie it in with a group such as Ducks Unlimited with some of the proceeds going to such a group. Benefiting such a group would appeal to hunters and many birders as well. Put some commemorative badging on the side and that could make it a desirable limited item.
The camo HT comments are posted for light discussion with just a tad amount of seriousness. Camo has become big business and it amazes me when watching some of the outdoor shows to see how many items are now in camo. Have some fun with it along with comments on the camo Terra.
