    Open letter to Zeiss - 8x30 Victory Companion please

    There are certainly places in the world where 32mm have increased in popularity but in global terms 42mm is still the main product by a long way. There will be more news concerning where and how Zeiss is producing its binos in an upcoming interview with their head of operations, so keep an eye...

    It would be tricky to work out how to fit a Victory 8x30 into a line-up consisting of Conquest HD 8x32 and SF 8x32. Price the 8x30 too low and if it is as good as the 8x25 Pocket or better, it could steal sales from Conquest. Price it too high and it could steal sales from SF. Lee
