ZEISS SFL 8x30

Ultra light and compact design

On long excursions into nature, birdwatching can become very tedious due to all the equipment. With the new SFL binoculars - "SmartFocus and Lightweight" - ZEISS now offers compact high-performance binoculars that, thanks to their light weight, do not represent an additional burden even on
time-consuming excursions. The new SFL binoculars are optimized in every respect for light weight and size: The objective lens diameter has been reduced by 2mm, allowing thinner lens elements to be installed at closer spacing, saving up to 20% in weight and up to 13% in volume compared to the ZEISS Victory SF models.
As a result, the new SFL binoculars are up to 30% lighter than
comparable competitor products. The lightweight but robust magnesium housing also ensures durability and longevity - for generations to come.

Outstanding optical performance
Despite their low weight and compact design, the new SFL models are true high-performance binoculars

.

With a field of view of up to 140 m at 1,000 m (SFL 8x30) and a closest focusing distance of 1.5 m, they deliver the optimum overview combined with precise detail recognition. The Ultra-High-Definition (UHD) Concept stands for a special coating and an improved optical design, which ensures the highest detail recognition and reproduces colors true to life. The smallest features in plumage can thus be precisely identified and species reliably distinguished. Thanks to LotuTec® coating, water droplets and dust particles simply roll off the lenses, ensuring a clear view at all times. With 90% light transmission and ZEISS T* multi-coating, details are recognized cleanly and precisely even in twilight, so that every moment can be captured even in darker
environments.

Perfect ergonomics
When observing nature, things often have to move quickly so as not to miss the right moment

.

The simple and convenient handling of the new SFL binoculars offers a clear advantage here: thanks to the SmartFocus Concept, it is possible to focus quickly and precisely - without having to spread your fingers. The focusing wheel, which is perfectly positioned in the DoubleLink Bridge, is not only robust, but also offers the highest level of user ergonomics, requires only 1.4 rotations from close focus to infinity and can be operated precisely even when wearing gloves.
The perfect ergonomics of the new ZEISS SFL models enable quick and easy positioning of the eye and also offer a comfortable and immersive viewing experience thanks to the large exit pupil.

The lightweight among high-performance binoculars.

Nature awaits with impressive experiences that you don't want to miss. But longer excursions in particular are often associated with heavy equipment and neck pain. All the
better if choosing the right binoculars doesn't add to the strain. Because with the new ZEISS SFL binoculars, you can enjoy all those outdoor moments with ease. It combines all the advantages of high-performance binoculars with the compactness of pocket binoculars, guaranteeing a carefree, comfortable and outstanding viewing experience.
