Designed
for birders and nature enthusiasts who need to move fast and light
without being weighed down by large cumbersome optics, the ZEISS 8x32 Victory SF Binoculars
provide an immersive observational experience in a compact and
lightweight housing that combines exceptional optics, a powerful
magnification, and a wide field of view.
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. Compact Schmidt-Pechan
roof prisms are more compact than conventional prism designs and are
coated with ZEISS' P* phase-correcting coatings to limit light loss and
increase color fidelity and contrast. All of the optics are fully
multicoated with ZEISS' anti-reflection T* coatings. These greatly
reduce light loss and maximize light transmission to create bright and
clear images. The glass, prisms, and coatings all work together to
create images that are clear and bright without distortion across the
entire wide field of view, while colors are accurately represented with
high contrast and crisp resolution.
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 less than two turns. This means faster and easier
adjustments without sacrificing focus precision if your subject moves or
you change subjects. 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 waterproof and
fogproof performance, giving them a waterproof rating to 400 mbar of
pressure.
