ZEI Victory SF Binoculars: the New ZEI Victory SF Binoculars

WETZLAR/Germany, 22.08.2016.

The ZEISS Victory SF binoculars are now available with new product features. Thanks to ongoing development of the focusing system, the user will benefit from even more precise and smoother handling in the future. In addition, an additional click stop has been integrated into the rotating eyecup. The user now has a total of four click stop positions to choose from. Another new feature: the ZEISS Victory SF is now available with new black armoring.

"We are raising the term SmartFocus to a totally new dimension that is unparalleled in the world of binoculars," says Dr. Gerold Dobler, Head of Product Management at Carl Zeiss Sports Optics GmbH. "The ZEISS Victory SF continues to feature the unique ErgoBalanceConcept that makes viewing over long periods particularly easy, ergonomic and fatigue-free. To ensure that the users arm muscles are subjected to minimum strain, the center of gravity has been shifted toward the eyepiece. The low overall weight of the instrument also plays a major role here," Dobler explains.

148-meter field of view at 8x magnification

The sweet spot of the focus wheel is located 1.8 revolutions from infinity to the minimum focusing distance of one-and-a-half meters and is therefore an ideal combination of fast and convenient focusing. "The ZEISS Victory SF continues to offer unparalleled image quality with high transmission of 92 percent and an extremely large field of view of 120 meters at 10x, and 148 meters at 8x magnification," says Dobler. As in the past, the binoculars are manufactured at the Wetzlar production site, all "Made in Germany."

Two models, one line

The ZEISS Victory SF 8x42 stands for excellent overview and rapid image capture. The 8x magnification offers the user an extremely large field of view and permits steady observation with outstanding depth of field, even under adverse light conditions. The ZEISS Victory SF 10x42 enables relaxed, long-range viewing into the night. Due to the adapted ergonomic design the user can use the 10x magnification easily and comfortably.
