Which current Zeiss has the widest FOV? new
      #2501488 - 07/05/08 07:48 PM

Not being familiar with all the different Zeiss models, was wondering- of the current Zeiss models, which one has the widest FOV?

Some bino’s from Miyauchi 5x32 Binon's up through Garrett 20x110 Signature's,
Some telescopes from a Stellarvue 80mm NHNG up through a couple of 8” reflectors…
And a wonderful 4.25" Delmarva Shiefspiegler!
Some good friends, made here on C/N.
Oh- several cats and a wonderful wife!
Anyone want a cat???? :-O

Thanks, Guys!
What about Swar's, Leica's, etc... do they have any models that are wider?

Actually I think the 3x12 has the widest FOV, with nearly 12,6deg. A nice little thing...
