Tract Optics has announced the new 2nd generation of the Tract Toric 10X42. The name of this model is Toric 10X42 Schott HT.
Changes are:
- Schott HT glass for improved image quality and superior light transmission values, especially in the blue and violet spectrum.
- Flat Multicoating which enhances overall light transmission over a wider spectrum of light (from 400-700nm), especially in the green color range.
- Locking Diopter to eliminate inadvertent movement in the field.

Price is $694 and is available now. This compares to $664 for the 1st generation. The first generation is now on closeout for $564.

The FOV, weight, and eye relief specs are unchanged. The body also appears the same.
No mention has been made of these changes coming to the Toric 8X42 model but I would not be surprised if that will happen eventually.
Sounds nice! CJ should approve of the Schott HT glass. Hopefully someone will be able to compare the two versions and report.
