Zeiss 10x56 FL
Is anyone out there using the Zeiss Victory FL 10x56?
How do you rate them?

Not FL's but some 10 X 56 Zeiss night owls. They have APO objectives not Flourite.
Never cared much for them. Heavy and I do happen to have a set of 10 X 42 FL's that are as bright IMO.
I do not think the FL's are the complete package a Leica HD is however they are a bit brighter at dusk and dawn.
They are the best (Hunting) Binoc I have viewed through for near darkness applications. Have a pair of 10 X 70 Fuji's that are brighter but who is going to carry those...

Sorry, can't help with the 10x56 FLs, but I do own and use a pair of 8x56 FLs - which are easily my best set of low light binoculars. Nothing else that I own (Zeiss, Leica, Swaro) come even close. No, I don't carry the 8x56 FLs for all hunting - but when I sit at night, the FLs get the nod.

Thanks guys. Yes, early and late for stand hunting and scouting is what I had in mind. It would be a tough sell to call them an all-round hunting binocular, especially in the mountains!
