Bigger Zeiss FLs (1 Viewer)

Does anyone know if Zeiss has a 50mm or 56mm (FL) bin coming out in the near future. Are they going to replace their big Victorys with FLs like they did with the others.
 
There are only rumours among German dealers, that Zeiss is coming up with bigger Conquests, but not FLs. It is stated that there is no market for bigger FLs unless they would not become more expensive. The big Victories are established in the market and fluoride glass would not make them significantly better. Actually the FLs contain only a few ions. The FLs are of course world class binocs, but I think, none of the others (Leica, Swarovski and Nikon) will follow Zeiss on their fluoride trip. The top binocs of the other three are as good as the Zeiss.
