I do hope Zeiss still makes FL available along with SF 32, but they probably won't. Agree FL is still a top 32 bino. Some in the forum (not James) have stated the FL is a "dinosaur" at this point while others have said FL reached the pinnacle of optics Performance and after it there hasn't been any real improvements. I tend to skew my opinion towards the latter view and I'm baffled by the notion of it not being considered a top tier binocular anymore. FL may have been ahead of its time with impressive correction of CA and poly/fiberglass body with very compact dimension . It's still very compact by today's standards and CA correction still the best it seems. In this area it hasn't been passed by. Also, it's still a very bright binocular for 32 class.</blockquote>
