Just wondering about this.
Is it the case that Schmidt-Pecan prism are now close enough in light transmission that there is no reason to stick to the less compact abbe koenig design? (and if that is so, how come we never see Leica or Swarovski tout the improvements of their SP prisms?)
Or is it the case that the use of field flattener elements and the other redesigns that improved the ergonomic handling of the Victory SF prevented them from sticking to the Abbe Koenig prism?
