Hell Rathaus,I find the Dialyt 8x56 to be a great low light/difficult light glass. Zeiss only stopped making it a couple of years ago. I can easily see why it has a constant cult following for so many decades while other great Zeiss come and go.
Just wondering....Has Zeiss made any other binoculars which had a longer production run than the Dialyt 8x56? (With so few changes?)
The still current 7x50BT* has been around a long time. It has gone by names like the Nautica and the Marine but it probably has not changed since the introduction of multi-coating. There were early versions which did not have the 'B' for Briller [eyeglasses] designation or lacked multi-coating. However I believe that it may differ significantly from the Binoctems.
Happy bird watching,
