Zeiss Victory Series Binoculars - State-of-the-art

 

For people who don't make any compromises when it comes to optical performance and handling in the field. The state of the art Victory FL binoculars in this series use fluoride glass to offer optimum brilliance and color fidelity for authentic image rendition. Furthermore, these binoculars feature maximum transmission values and minimum stray light levels so that they have amazing twilight performance. This is not just our opinion. Many trade journalists have noted the FLs' exceptional brilliance and twilight performance.

 

Clearly the leading edge - Victory FL binoculars

 

Maximum brightness, contrast, resolution and color fidelity, light transmission of over 90%, optimum edge-to-edge sharpness, minimum chromatic aberration, widest field of view with wide-angle eyepieces, featured with the innovative LotuTec coating - these binoculars and their special lenses with fluoride-containing glasses (FL) amazingly can capture the smallest detail. Low weight as well as visual ease-of-use and exceptional handling, in addition to the best optical image quality of its class, make the Victory FL unbeatable.

 

LotuTec Protective layer for a crystal clear view

 

LotuTec is an effective protection coating for eyepiece and objective lenses - thus offering sharper viewing. The coating remarkably reduces soiling of the lens with its strong repelling effect. A principle of nature was the catalyst of this invention: the Lotus leave effect. It describes the water-repelling propery of surfaces, to simply repel water drops and dirt.

 

Zeiss specialists were able to apply this principle to the optical glass: a water drop touches the coated surface with a much smaller contact area thus forming a ball that repels without leaving a trace. Oil smears and fingerprints adhere less and can be removed more quickly, easily, and free from trace - LotuTec makes the cleaning and caring for the lenses very easy. In addition, the LotuTec coating is resistant, abrasion-proof, and aids in the reduction of scratches.

      Comments about Zeiss Victory FL 8x42mm Binoculars:

      I wanted 8x42s to compliment my 10x42 Leica Ultravids. I looked at Leica (again), Swaro (of course) and Zeiss (touted to be the new leader in its class). I chose the Victory for its feel (great in the hands), color balance (even better than the Leicas), overall balance (so necessary for long term viewing), and focusing (smoothness, feel, and ratio). Focusing was important because birders do a LOT of focusing. Zeiss Victory binoculars have the best focusing ever at any cost in addition to optics that give the user a feeling of intimacy with the subject.

          My wife surprised me with these. They are spectacular; they have a great feel and focus quickly and easily. I also have Nikon Monarch binoculars that I like, but the Zeiss lens is just in a different league...[@] was extremely helpful and informative.

          Comments about Zeiss Victory FL 8x42mm Binoculars:

          We just finished an around the world trip from above the Arctic Circle to Chilean Patagonia to Borneo's tropics, Australia's outback and Africa's savannas. Our theme was wilderness by foot and packraft and wildlife by car.

          If you're in a car or on a ship or somebody else is paddling the boat these Zeiss are fantastic, better than the naked eye for looking at everything from vipers to ice-caps. They are ideal basecamp/day hike glass.

          But they are heavy for backpacking, where the Swarovski El 8 x 32 excel as they don't weigh so heavy on the neck and feel good when held.

          While Zeiss are best on the eyes, Swarovski is best in the hand.

              These binoculars really make whatever you are viewing pop. The colors remain true and I can detect no distortion at the edges. I purchased for field work, but I may leave my old heavy 7X50's on the dock the next time I go sailing.
