    Open letter to Zeiss - 8x30 Victory Companion please

    A lot of people would buy an 8x30 over an 8x32 if it offers 95% of the performance of the 8x32 at 1/2 the cost, especially with the smaller size and weight of an 8x30. A lot of people are just casual users and a small and light but high quality binocular from a big name manufacturer is...

    Open letter to Zeiss - 8x30 Victory Companion please

    Why, Swarovski did it with the 8x25 CL-P to the 8x30 CL B? I think there is a market for an 8x25, 8x30 and an 8x32. There is enough difference between the three in weight, size, performance and price.

    Exactly. That thought crossed my mind too. Would they want to handicap themselves with a 2mm smaller aperture compared to their competition the SV 8x32? But maybe Zeiss could build an 8x30 SF that could compete optically with the SV 8x32 but being smaller in size and weight. That would be something!

    You know I just realized Nikon's new smaller less than 32mm binoculars are all 8x30's and no 8x32's. The MHG and the M7 are both 8x30's. Maybe the trend is down to 8x30's. I wouldn't mind it. 8x30 is a nice birding size. I think Zeiss might be more likely to make an 8x30 SF rather than an 8x32.

    Yes, that would be nice if Zeiss would make an 8x30. I really think 8x30's and 8x32's are the ideal birding size and with the increasing performance of small binoculars like the 8x30 combined with their compact size and weight might cause a shift down to the 8x30's as the ideal birding size. it...
