Zeiss Account Manager

[Marc Zeiss]

Hi there fellow followers.

Just a a quick insight to my world right now. I'm sat in a hotel away from home yet again after going out for a great days stalking with one of customers.

My role is to bridge the gap between Stockist, Dealers, Consumers, Professional Stalkers and Zeiss UK. I'm aware that information has been strained at best. We have always had an open door policy at Zeiss and we will always try to satisfy our consumers and our dealer community. I am very passionate about my job and my customers and I'm here to assist as best as I can.

Drop me a PM or contact me if you would like to know any about Zeiss products or services??

We have many top dealers up and down the country who sell the best Zeiss optics ranging from our NEW Terra ED to the Victory range.

Regards
Marc Overton

Marc,

Please source sunshades to fit 56mm Diavari. If you can't provide your own please post thread diameter and pitch so we can source our own.

[Heym SR20]

Welcome to the SD

three requests

1) please start making the 7x42 BGAT* again. You still do the traditional 8x56, but they are really too heavy for general every day use.

2) please start making the little 3-9x36 scope and if could do a 1.5 - 6 x36 that would be really good as well. Please reticle in which ever focal plane so that it is non magnifying that would be perfect

3) and now that Schmidt and Bender, Swarovski etc have all stopped making a 6x42 scope, there is a huge hole in the market for a simple quality stalking scope. We don't all want nor can massive huge big v12 type scopes.

And please back to the classic gloss black finish, rather than a grey or mucky brown crinkle type finish. Rubber armoured objective lenses housings are not bad either.

 

[artschool]

is there an ocular lens cap for the V8?

 

[Kalahari]

Got a pair of 7 x 42 BGAT so I am fixed up there, but I would think a few other people would like the opportunity to own them. I am sure there would be a demand for a re-issue of the diatals, possibly with illuminated reticles, so you could kill two birds with one stone, have a nice fine central part of the reticle for normal use when you want precision and a dot for first and last light.

Best wishes,

David.

PS I could be persuaded to test the 7 x 50 prototype free of charge over the long term.

Hi Marc and welcome to the SD forum,

I love zeiss glass but I can't reach the top of the range stuff or the new uk supported models, but I do have the conquest range here at home and find it very disappointing that the uk side of Zeiss will not help when we have issues, let's face it, it can't be doing the company name any harm when someone sees your name on a rifle scope irrespective if it's a terra or a conquest model,

I feel it will have an effect in the future as and when wemhave a problem with your conquest that you can't get fixed because it's not supported in the uk but bares your name, your once trusted user may well shop with other scope manufacturing companies that support all their scopes weather purchased here or elsewhere,

bob.

Hi, the quick answer is we only do 50' & 56' objectives for the Victory HT and Victory V8. There will be no plans for producing a flip up cover for older stock that will be phased out by the V8 range.

We we only have one line in the Diavari left. I'm guessing this may end too eventually with the emerging V8 success. Sorry.

All the best

Certainly not Zeiss made anyway.

Talk about a baptism of fire! I'm sat here laughing thinking Marc is probably already regretting his OP.
I'm an S+B man myself, so I at least won't be heaping anymore work on top of what he already has to deal with.
Regardless of this welcome aboard Marc, and good luck. Hope you don't end up with too many dents in your tin hat.

I don't think he has too much to fear when I and people like me post things like this!

Zeiss at it again.

I know a guy who invested his retirement pay of from his employer on 20 - 30 new 7x42 bgat's when they said they were stopping producing them.He made a lot of money from them and was selling them worldwide , he wished he had bought a 100 pair they went that fast . I bought a second hand pair of 8.5 x42 SW from him and in conversation told him I had a pair of 7x42 bgat's to which he replied don't ever sell them they don't make them like that anymore, so i've still got them .

I don't think so Marc, unless I'm missing a point somewhere? It is getting late though, you may have to elaborate.

well I am lucky. My wife bought me a pair for a wedding present on our honeymoon in Austria. Then about 7 years ago I was introduced to the above gentleman in Argyl, and with my sisters we bought my father a brand new pair for his 70th birthday. So we have two pairs in the family.

I'm sure it's the quick answer to something, but not this question!
So the thread diameter and pitch is what?
It's like trying to get blood out of a stone...

Hi,

50mm and 56mm sunshades to fit Diavari 'scopes, as well as killflashes etc., used to be available from the Hensoldt (military) division of Zeiss. This part of the business is now owned by Cassadian Optronics (Airbus).

A company in Germany called IEA sell the Hensoldt range and should be able to supply the sunshades.


Their website is http://www.mil-optics.de Unfortunately it is all in German !

Be aware though......the objective ring on many Diavari 'scopes is not threaded and therefore will need changing before a sunshade can be fitted. These threaded replacement rings are available from us at Zeiss Sport Optics to fit 56mm 'scopes (but at the moment I am not sure about 50mm).

Gary.

shame. how come you make one for the objective lens? i can never understand the logic as it means i get to buy a nice flip up cover for the front and have to put up with a butler creek over the eyepiece.

 

[rarms]

Marc,

Strange question, but did you previously work in solid surface worktops?

 

[scrumbag]

Also things I'd like Zeiss to make:

Nice compact 1-4x36 or 4x36 scope and a twin post running target scope which doesn't cost the earth like Nickel....
