Leica recently released the Ultravid HD-Plus in 8/10x32. By all accounts Swarovski dominates the mid sized Alpha bins with SV 8x32 considered the best out there. Will this spur Zeiss to replace the FL x32 with HT or SF x32?
Zeiss might want to keep the robustness of FL by upgrading it to HT line, but that will make it hard to compete with SV. It will most likely be the SF x32 that can compete with SV. But then if they bring it out in the SF line it may not be as compact and sturdy as the HT.
I hope they upgrade the FL sooner than later. May be Lee who is on the board of directors at Zeiss can get us some information.
