Zeiss Victory SFL 8x40 Binoculars

With the 8x40 ZEISS SFL Binoculars, special moments can be experienced with ease. Optimized to be as lightweight and compact as possible, the SFL (SmartFocus Lightweight) binoculars are an addition to the SF family. The new Ultra-High-Definition (UHD) Concept ensures true-to-life color reproduction and the highest level of detail. Thanks to its SmartFocus Concept, the focus wheel is perfectly positioned and enables fast and precise focusing—even with gloves on. The optimized ergonomics and a large exit pupil allow for a relaxed and undisturbed viewing experience. Featuring a field of view of up to 420' at a distance of 1000 yards and a closest focusing distance of 5', the SFL 8x40 delivers a broad overview combined with precise detail recognition.

Lightweight Design

The lightweight yet rugged magnesium housing also enhances durability and longevity for generations to come. The smaller lens diameter allowed ZEISS to use thinner lens elements that could be installed closer together. At the same time, the SFL binoculars offer a perfect image quality despite the incredible reduction in weight and volume relative to other models.

True Colors for Nature/Wildlife Observation

The Ultra-High-Definition (UHD) concept features a special coating and an improved optical design that ensures the binoculars deliver the highest level of detail and reproduce colors with natural fidelity. This makes it possible to precisely identify the smallest features in the plumage and reliably distinguish between species.

SmartFocus Concept for Intuitive, Precise Handling

The SmartFocus concept makes it possible to focus quickly and precisely - without having to spread your fingers. The focusing wheel, perfectly positioned in the DoubleLink Bridge, offers the highest level of operating ergonomics, requiring only 1.4 turns from close focus to infinity and capable of being rotated precisely even with gloves on.

90% Light Transmission

Featuring 90% light transmission and ZEISS T* multicoating, you can clearly and precisely recognize details in the twilight, ensuring that you capture every moment, even in darker environments.

Comfortable Viewing

The ergonomic SFL models enable quick and easy positioning of the eye and also provide comfortable and immersive viewing due to the large exit pupil. In addition, the improved eyecups provide an even better ergonomic feel and a smooth transition between the touch points, which are precisely defined and can be reached perfectly.

ZEISS T* Coating

ZEISS T* coating is a guarantee of the brilliant, high-contrast images­­ that you will experience above all in adverse light conditions and in the twilight. Behind it, however, there is no specific formula for building up the layers. Instead, it is a technology that is constantly adjusted to suit new glass materials and requirements, which varies from lens to lens.

A Clear View, Even in the Rain

There are always exciting things to be seen in the world of nature, even in wet weather. This is why ZEISS developed LotuTec, a coating for the lenses of binoculars and spotting scopes that enables a clear and unhindered view in all weather conditions.
