Zeiss 8x42 Victory SF Binocular with LotuTec Protective Coating (Black)

Top-notch image quality. Very bright with a wide, flat, field of view. Ultra smooth focusing, locking diopter adjustment, and love the ergonomics. Can recommend them without reservation. Update: Nov 7, 2025: Excellent in low-light. Has worked great in early morning and late evening outings.

Outstanding! Little effort is required to focus on a bird that is moving fast near-to far and far-to-near and through brush. I especially like that my new Zeiss 8x42 Victory SF Binocular with LotuTec Protective Coating are crafted so they can go where I go.

These binoculars are worth every penny spent. Slightly heavier then my vortex but they are easy to hold and adjust. The clarity is remarkable even at dusk and dawn. I had been saving up for awhile and I am not disappointed.

I expected great light gathering and I got it. The surprise was the weight or rather the weight distribution. The glasses can be held for quite a bit of time without any shake noticeable. I am 75 and not as spry as I used to be. Other than the weight, I expected perfection and I got it. Very happy.

For the price they should have been perfect and they weren't. The bridge was so stiff I could hardly move it to adjust to the width of my eyes. I asked my wife to check them out and she couldn't move them at all. Sent them back without a hitch, Amazon was great.
