Designed for birders and nature enthusiasts, the 8x42 Victory SF T* Binoculars from ZEISS
provide an immersive observational experience by combining exceptional
optics 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. Colors are
accurately represented with high contrast and resolution. The
binoculars' wide 64° apparent angle of view provides expansive views,
while the exceptionally short 5' close-focus distance ensures you won't
miss anything.
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 waterproof and fogproof performance, giving them a waterproof
rating to 400 mbar of pressure.
