Coming up: Next Generation ZEN ED2

2009.6.23 Next Generation of ZEN ED2 is Available for Pre-order for Early August Delivery
Beaverton , OR Since its introduction in early 2009, ZEN ED with open hinge design and extra low dispersion objectives has proven itself to the eyes of the birders, hunters and outdoorsmen for its rugged design, superior optics and excellent value. By relentless pushing the boundary of optical performance, Zen-Ray Optics introduces the next generation high quality open hinge binoculars under the brand ZEN ED2 that is scheduled to release in the 2nd half of 2009. The new ZEN ED2 is built upon the original ZEN ED platform by incorporating several advanced technologies on three models ZEN ED2 8x43, 10x43 and 7x36.
The backbone of the ZEN ED2, prism coating, is significantly enhanced with the state of the art VividBrite (TM) dielectric prism coating to maximize the total light transmission. The coating was engineered with 40+ layers of nanoscale film with precise thickness control. Unlike metallic prism coating, our dielectric coating offers a superiorly flat curve, averaging 99% rate of reflectivity throughout visible spectrum range. As a result, the users are able to enjoy a brighter image rendered with high color fidelity.
A proprietary new Speed-Dial (TM) focusing mechanism with 30% faster focus rate is also developed exclusively by Zen-Ray to allow users to better track fast moving objects out in the field.
The ZEN ED2 binoculars are designed to use under the most adverse weather conditions with its Argon noble gas charged waterproof chassis and new build-in CrystalView(TM) oil and water repellent coating
All three models are available for customers to pre-order for the first week of August delivery. Accessories include premium hard carrying case, enhanced neckstrap with quickconnects. We now offer free US shipping to pre-order customers through our store and selected retailers
Please feel free to contact me if you have any question.

I just gave my approval stamp to a gentleman on here on the current version. Should I tell him to wait a month.

Those look sweet. I happened to ruin a set of binoculars a few weeks ago. I know what I will be ordering when the money comes.

Yes, we got 8x43/10x43 ED2 in stock. I will put one pair of 8x43 ED2 out as a loaner program for interested members to try out. Since we are currently very busy with processing existing pre-orders, we probably won't be able to send the loaner out until later next week. I will post this on a separate thread.

Son and I each ordered the 10x43 ZEN ED2's today. Going out in the mail tomorrow....probably arrive Monday. Will use them on our muzzleloader mule deer hunt next weekend and following week. Thanks Charles for all the help. Look forward to getting them in hand.
