VICTORY SF 10x42

The core of the new ZEISS VICTORY SF is the Ultra-FL lens, designed to achieve new levels of resolution, brilliance and color reproduction. ZEISS developed a new, highly innovative optical system with two fluoride lenses made of SCHOTT glass. The result is a spectacular and previously unimagined viewing experience full of brilliance and intricate details.

At the same time, the binoculars weigh in at just 780 grams – an extraordinarily light weight for the optical performance. This allows for hours of fatigue-free viewing with the highest possible optical quality. In addition to this radical reduction in weight, the ZEISS VICTORY SF also introduces a world premiere: the ErgoBalance Concept. Unlike classic binoculars, the focal point of the lens is shifted further towards the back. The binoculars move towards the eye independently, and rest there for extended periods of comfortable viewing. This is a product benefit that people definitely notice when using the VICTORY SF in the field.

The newly developed seven-lens eyepiece with ZEISS field flattener technology creates an extremely sharp picture with extremely wide fields of view. As such, the VICTORY SF 10x42 with 120m and VICTORY SF 8x42 with 148 m at a distance of 1000 m are unmatched in their classes. The new 8x42 SF has almost the same field of view as the legendary ZEISS 7x42 Dialyt, but offers the advantage of the higher 8X magnification, far sharper focus at the edges and improved ergonomics. As such, the VICTORY SF offers a far greater overview than the competition.

In contrast to the traditional double-link bridge, the mechanics of the new ZEISS VICTORY SF were moved to the bridge above the focusing wheel. As a result, the focusing wheel is shifted towards the hand used to operate it for great ergonomic benefits. There is also enough space for a gloved hand in cold weather. This new arrangement of the focusing wheel allows the hand to hold the binoculars in a relaxed position for hours of fatigue-free viewing. The newly developed anti-slip tread on the focusing wheel improves the grip for quick focusing – even in wet conditions.

ZEISS integrated its Smart Focus concept in its VICTORY SF binoculars. Conventional binoculars require the focusing wheel to be turned 2.5 times in order to switch from the close focus to the maximum observation distance. The VICTORY SF only requires the wheel to be turned 1.8 times, a distance that is 39% shorter. This makes it possible to focus more quickly and accurately – an ideal feature for fans of birding and nature observation.
The binoculars include a newly developed protective case for transport. The multifunctional case makes it possible to use the binoculars while zipped shut, without the neck strap. This is advantageous in rough terrain. The additional magnetic closure also keeps the binoculars at ready, making them easy to use at out at a moment’s notice. The elegantly streamlined, yet highly functional design of the case allows for comfortable wearing in the field with shoulder straps or belt loops.

The 120m / 1000m field of view with 10x magnification is like a dream come true for many nature enthusiasts. The close range of 1.5 m allows for an impressive, larger-than-life view of birds, butterflies and dragonflies – as if you could reach out and touch them. The weight distribution and ergonomic grip makes for comfortable, steady observation, even at 10x magnification.
