I originally though you mean non-zoom.I also note that the site says: "Available as of Thursday, 01 April 2010". It's a bit early for April Fool's jokes but ... there is a terrible (scanned? ancient?) photo from the site attached below  along with translation of the site.The new spotting scope Dialyt shows its strengths under Widiger conditions where, in particular reliability, compact size and light weight are critical. Equipped with high-quality Carl Zeiss optics and the signature classic design is the newest member of the family Dialyt the ideal partner, wherever it comes to rapid deployment capability.The lightweight, compact monobloc design with rubber coating makes the Carl Zeiss 18-45x65 Dialyt the ideal companion for the observation of birds, wildlife and nature. The water-and dust-proof housing, it qualifies for intensive use in harsh conditions. The practical focus front stabilizes the image in addition to observing domiciled.As it can be transported easily in a backpack, is the Carl Zeiss 18-45x65 Dialyt also ideal as a second or Reisespektiv available. A robust and reliable with good Begeleitung Carl Zeiss optics!</blockquote>
