Message: <blockquote data-quote="Troubador" data-source="post: 3587286" data-attributes="member: 109211">Zeiss explained on this forum some years ago that there will never be 32mm HTs because their design target was to provide low light capability. The 54mm version was an extension of this, a 32mm would be a step back too far.My scan of a 2005 Zeiss brochure shows FL 32s with a banner exclaiming NEW so they were probably launched in late 2004 or in 2005.I am sure that an SF 32 will come eventually and that its frustratingly long gestation period must be due to other products being developed that are considered more important. I am sure dealers would like an SF 50 too.In the meantime FL is still very competitive and only suffers from familiarity on the market ie it has been around for a long time and has an appearance that harks back to the days of Dialyts.Lee</blockquote>
