Designed for birders and nature enthusiasts, the 10x42 Victory SF T* Binoculars from ZEISS
provide an immersive observational experience by combining exceptional
optics, a powerful magnification, and a wide field of view in a
lightweight and durable housing. Extra-low dispersion fluoride lenses,
fully multi-coated optics, and phase-corrected prisms work together to
create images that are clear and bright without distortion across the
entire field of view, while colors are accurately represented with high
contrast and resolution. The binoculars' 10x magnification and wide 65°
apparent angle of view provide expansive views, while the exceptionally
short 5' close-focus distance enables you to make detailed observations
of insects and small birds on flowers or feeders.
The optical
precision starts with SCHOTT Ultra-FL extra-low dispersion (ED) fluoride
(FL) lenses that virtually eliminate distortion and chromatic
aberration while increasing contrast and color fidelity. The
Schmidt-Pechan roof prisms are coated with ZEISS' P* phase-correcting
coatings to limit light loss and increase color fidelity and contrast.
All of the optics are fully multi-coated with ZEISS' anti-reflection T*
coatings. These greatly reduce light loss and maximize light
transmission to create bright and clear images. A seven-lens eyepiece
system uses high-transmission glass and field flatteners to correct for
spherical aberrations to allow for pinpoint focusing across the entire
field of view.
This SF version of the Victory binoculars feature
the Smart Focus system. Unlike conventional focusing wheels that require
users to turn the knobs as many as 2.5 times to transition from the
minimum to the maximum focus distance, the SF system only requires 1.8
turns. This means faster and easier changes of your subjects without
sacrificing focus precision. The binoculars are designed with ergonomic
balance to reduce the feel of the weight in the hand, which reduces user
fatigue for comfortable viewing during long observation sessions.
The
housing is made from a lightweight, durable, and strong magnesium
alloy. A double-hinged, open-bridge design provides a larger surface
area for gripping while reducing the overall weight even more. The
optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed for water and
fogproof performance, giving them a waterproof rating to 400 mbar of
pressure.
