ZEISS Introduces New Victory SF Binoculars
NORTH CHESTERFIELD, VA., August 22, 2016 – (ArmsVault.com) – Carl Zeiss Sports Optics, the world’s leading manufacturer of high performance sports optics, is pleased to announce the new ZEISS Victory SF binoculars with new product features, available in 8×42 and 10×42.
Thanks to ongoing development of the focusing system, the user will benefit from even more precise and smoother handling in the future. In addition, an extra click stop has been integrated into the rotating eyecup. The user now has a total of four click stop positions to choose from. Another new feature is the Victory SF is now available with new black armoring.
“We are raising the term SmartFocus to a totally new dimension that is unparalleled in the world of binoculars,” says Dr. Gerold Dobler, Head of Product Management at Carl Zeiss Sports Optics GmbH. “The ZEISS Victory SF continues to feature the unique ErgoBalanceConcept that makes viewing over long periods particularly easy, ergonomic and fatigue-free. To ensure that the user’s arm muscles are subjected to minimum strain, the center of gravity has been shifted toward the eyepiece. The low overall weight of the instrument also plays a major role here,” Dobler explains.
The most common area or sweet spot of the focus wheel is located 1.8 revolutions from the minimum focusing distance to infinity to the minimum focusing distance of one-and-a-half meters. This makes for an ideal combination of fast and convenient focusing. “The ZEISS Victory SF continues to offer unparalleled image quality with high transmission of 92 percent and an extremely large field of view of 360 ft. yards at 10x, and 444 ft. at 8x magnification,” says Dobler. As in the past, the binoculars are manufactured at the Wetzlar production site, all “Made in Germany.”
The ZEISS Victory SF 8×42 offers the best of both worlds, a quick overview of any situation and rapid image acquisition. The 8x magnification offers the user an extremely large field of view and permits steady observation with outstanding depth of field, even under adverse light conditions. The ZEISS Victory SF 10×42 enables comfortable, long-range viewing into the twilight. With the adapted ergonomic design the user can use the 10x magnification easily and comfortably.
