Zeiss Victory SF (Smart Focus) is a binocular that places itself in the absolute highest segment. Binoculars that are perfect for bird watching and hunting.
This is thanks to the fantastic ergonomics, weight and fine brightness. The fine ergonomics mean that you can use the binoculars for many hours without feeling strained. The tubes are connected by a double link with the focusing at the top, and a single link at the bottom between the lenses. Together with the changed center of gravity, this provides perfect ergonomics with excellent and intuitive grip. The large focusing wheel is perfectly positioned a little further down towards the center of the binoculars than is usual on binoculars. This means that it fits perfectly for the index and middle finger and is easy to use both with and without gloves. The diopter is located in a separate screw at the top of the focusing bridge, is lockable and adjustable in +/- 4 diopters. The eyecups are made of plastic covered with a rubber rim. The clamshells can be unscrewed in different positions to fit the user perfectly. With a fully screwed-in eye cup, the binoculars are perfectly suited for glasses wearers.
Zeiss uses its own Schott glass in all its binoculars. But they experiment with different coatings (anti-reflective treatments) on the different models, to give them different properties. The proximity limit is just under 2 meters, which matches the very best on the market. The binoculars' lens element with Ultra-FL glass provides a fantastic image quality, with a light transmission of 90%. Which makes these binoculars useful even in poor light conditions. Field-flattener lenses provide a clear and sharp image all the way to the edge. As I said, the Zeiss Victory SF stands out even when it comes to ergonomics. With the Zeiss focusing system, Smart Focus (SF), you can quickly and easily get the focus. The Zeiss Victory SF is also made to be perfectly balanced in the hand. All this so that you can watch for many hours without problems.
