Seeing Eagle Optics has the Zeiss FL binoculars on sale, wondering if it is a hint of newer replacement coming soon? Wondering how long the current FL line has been there already?

A common practice, although some mfrs. hold the retailers to a stringent policy of sales prices.
Zeiss FL binoculars. . .replacement coming soon?
I suppose they are on sale to move inventory, when sales are slow.

You mean like when Zeiss FL boxes mysteriously disappeared and EO charged $600 less for boxless FLs? I'm still wondering where all those boxes went?!
You're probably right about FL sales being slow, after all, according to Dennis, the SV ELs "selling like hotcakes" so the FL inventory must be stacking up like jets over Denver International Airport.

I hope so,
am tiring of the SW threads,
need new bino excitement
The fact that a binocular has not yet been manufactured, or hasn't even been designed, has never prevented our bold contributors from speculating endlessly about it. I think we should assume that the top-secret Zeiss bin will have an open bridge, will be sharper at the edges than the Swarovision, will have a flawlessly smooth focus mechanism, will be able to withstand a drop from a ten-story building, will both play and record vocalizations, will identify birds, will take 50 megapixel photos, and will weigh 200 grams. Have I forgotten anything?
Yes, one more thing the new Zeiss must have is 'clockwise to infinity' focus...

It's almost certain to have a box.
I suppose this would be a good time for the Zeiss users here, to comment on
any changes they would like to see in a new model ?
The designers at both Zeiss and Leica are busy working on the next model, and
they do need suggestions from those that use these great optics.
