How ZEISS invented the VICTORY SF binoculars

Birding fans know that speed and ease of use are essential to capturing unique moments. This inspired us to develop two innovative concepts - Smart Focus and ErgoBalance.

Our new Smart Focus concept allows you to focus extremely quickly on moving objects at varying distances. It allows you to respond as quickly and intuitively as if the binoculars were your seventh sense. Another advantage is the innovative ErgoBalance concept, which allows for hours of relaxed viewing.

The newly conceived and developed optical concept allows you to experience the wonders of nature better than ever before.

Thanks to the outstanding image quality, ultra sharp, edge to edge focus all the way to the edges, the unrivaled wide-angle field of view and authentic natural light transmission rate of 92%, you'll be just a breath away from every unique moment.

Look forward to hours of relaxing viewing. The ZEISS VICTORY SF is constructed using extremely lightweight materials and features a unique anti-slip armor - for unparalleled ergonomic comfort. Weighing in at just 780g, its is a very light pair of binoculars.

Having been part of the Zeiss Victory SF Experience launch event in Germany, Hungary, and Austria last week and using these binoculars for several days, I can attest that the comments in this video about balance, sharpness, field of view, and image brightness are not just marketing hype.  These binoculars really deliver the goods!  For me, the balance point being shifted toward the ocular was an amazing breakthrough in usability and ergonomics making a 10x42 as stable in one hand as an 8x32 of a more traditional design would feel.  Upon return home, I love my Zeiss 10x32 Conquest HD binoculars just a little bit less than I did before the trip.  I've been spoiled.  Truly a great product!

A nice Europe trip with the Zeiss team last week. The Victory SF binoculars are truly the new standard in high quality optics, with razor sharp imaging and tracking they are the first of their kind for birding. As bird photographers, we carry some heavy gear in the field and adding even little extra weight becomes critical, these binoculars are very light and well balanced, I was carrying my rig while holding the binocular with the other hand and was able to get stable view. The binoculars have a comfortable grip and balance nicely while looking through.

I just got a pair of Terra 8 x 42 and I am very impressed. I know they are Zeiss entry level but wow they are wonderful to use and I forget I am using them and get lost in the crystal clear views. I certainly look forward to trying your other models.

I am just dribbling looking at these binoculars. I’m sure they are worth it, I won’t argue with that, but what a Huge

Hello! Please tell me which binoculars have the best picture quality, Karl Zeiss Victory SF or Victory HT?

[johnhorsfall]

Nice bins, and I REALLY hope they make a 7x ultra-WA, like the old FL. By the way, I'm not sure Mr Trevelyn found the first breeding pair of peregrines in

[peterzwegau]

o how much i would like to have one of these :(

[johnwicks]

😅 Yeah my Victory HT also. Center is sharp but Edge is so garbage blurry. Wasting $2500 to buy it😢

[NJacana]

What does the *T mean when sellers put that by the SF? Are there actually 2 kinds?

[Razzledazzle]

You should do a give away to the first 5 subscribers lol

😂Why Zeiss Victory HT Edge to Edge Fall out is so blurry! Why? After 80%, & the rest 20% of lenses why so blurry ?

I cry everyday knowing zeiss doesn't exist anymore.

Swarovski makes binoculars with 94-96% of light transmission
