Zeiss Dialyt 18-45x60 (1 Viewer)

So difficult to find a Zeiss dealer in the Uk with one of these in stock that you could try before buying. After exhausting all photo/camera shops within 100 miles, no luck with TryZeiss.com, surprisingly found help from a local gun shop who have several scopes for me to try including the Zeiss At good prices. Never though I‘d have to frequent a gun shop !!

The glass was designed for hunters I believe, small and rugged getting priority over absolute optical performance, so not phase corrected.
It is a really solid option for traveling birders imho, but does not get much advertising support from Zeiss.

It only appears on the Zeiss website under the hunting option which I think is rather sad. There’s not many of us who can afford a Harpia or a Gavia, and is it worth an £1200 to £2000 for ED or fluoride glass. From the reports I’ve read the Dialyt performs stunningly and you are hard pushed to spot any differences.

On the WEB-site of House of Outdoor I published a test of "Reis en rugzak telescopen" (2016) and one of the investigated telesopes was the Zeiss Dialyt. As far as I know it is also available under the name of Hensoldt , but that is essentially Zeiss. The Zeiss Dialyt was one of the most attractive telescopes for different reasons: optical quality, high user comfort especially for use on safaris, because of the focussing by turning the obective and fairly compact.
The new Swarovski CTC telesope is probably a very good competitor for the Dialyt.

The Dialyt has arrived !! I’m picking it up Thursday I hope. Then, if the rain stays away, I will have a play and report back.

I had one for years. Compact / packable, rugged and - for its size - a solid performer.
