Seems recently (from what I read in BF) at least two other makers have got there, Kowa and Swarovski, but in the first case the Genesis (with 33 mm obj.) enhancing sharpness, and in the second the SV flat field and contrast, deliberately at the expense of brightness. Yet the Zeiss Victory, wonderfuly, even now, is notably lighter and smaller. (CJ, I was taking time off from BF but you taunted me back in another current Zeiss thread.)
Of course I reserve the right to ammend, change, or completely recant this position when I finally get the two side by side, and under a variety of lighting, and environmental conditions! :cat:

Lady????

Guys, calm down.
The lady has made it absolutely clear that she will make her own judgement when she has tried the two bins at the same time.
Can't say fairer than that surely?

I didn't think it that big of a deal, and didn't think it warranted the hysterical response .....
CJ, am responding to that, though I've got a bit paranoid about going off topic, because this may possibly be relevant in some degree to the Z. Conquest HD also (at a slightly different level of refinement with the pricing constraint) - I was thinking of other factors, too, of course: coatings, glass types, "spectrum tuning", possibly lens curvatures, and the optlcal system overall.... brightness ... I still don't think that without those extra elements (they're not worth ~4%), that those two would reach the level of the Zeiss Victory FL x32's.
... why don't we all just wait until we actually see something ... It's like trying to guess how a piece of stereo equipment will sound to your ear, based on a cell phone recording.
Eitan, I wish you better luck than <this, 6:46>.(I'm looking at you, Annabeth)

BUT, its a muggs game to try to 'predict' how something will look, so why don't we all just wait until we actually see something as all this prognostication leads nowhere.
Yeah, the "spanked your kid" line was pretty funny! 3 :'D 8-P o :king: B :cat:
