So true!
Still, the Zeiss name plus the extra wide field will ensure it is considered. Imho, it will be the scope to beat if the view is comfortable and the QC is Zeiss grade.
The ball peen hammer QC method pioneered by the founder should be highlighted and still honored by the firm. It helped make them a world leader then and it has even more power today in a world of second rate 'almost as good' stuff.
The view was certainly comfortable through the pre-production prototypes but I am keeping my powder dry until I have looked through a genuine full production off-the-shelf unit. It sounds terrific but lets wait and see........
