Zeiss 8x42 Victory T* FL Binocular (Green) USA
Zeiss' 8x42 Victory T* FL binocular, the classic birder's configuration, is available in two colors and is the epitome of optical excellence. From any measurement of greatness it succeeds admirably, a tool bereft of weakness which becomes so intuitive with use as to functionally disappear from the user's mindset. This should be the goal of any binocular-to be the invisible conduit to great viewing of the subject.
The optics within the 8x42 Victory T* FL binocular were created with elements of abnormal partial dispersion, a chunk of gobbledygook easily translating to the observer as the theoretical limit of razor sharp imagery free of color shift or chromatic aberration, the dreaded bane of bargain binoculars. When focusing upon a flat subject, the image is as sharp at the edges of the enormous viewing field as it is at the center. The broad focusing range goes from end to end in just a single rotation of the center focus dial, which also houses the dioptric correction.
The 8x42 Victory T* FL, like all ultra-premium European crafted binoculars, is not for the frugally minded. It is instead a product intentionally designed to deliver awe-inspiring optical and mechanical brilliance, and for many the lifetime of expected performance from such a device quickly amortizes its high initial investment.
- Incredibly bright optics
- Lightweight, durable fiber-reinforced polymer body
- Abbe-Koenig roof prisms
- Twist-lock eyecups with 4 detented stops for perfect eye placement
- ±4 Dioptric correction
- 54-76mm Interpupillay adjustment range
- Exclusive Zeiss LotuTec Lens Coating
- Borrowing a natural principle from the lotus flower, Zeiss' LotuTec has been incorporated in Zeiss eyeglass lenses and is now upon the Victory T* FL line. Dirt, grease & water cannot easily attach to the lens, permitting less dirt buildup over time and simplified cleaning.
- Warranty Coverage That Retains Value
- Zeiss' Lifetime Transferable Warranty protects the value of your investment like no other company. As long as the binocular was sold by an authorized USA Zeiss dealer they are under warranty for whoever owns them, and this makes the unfortunate prospect of parting with your Zeiss 8x42 Victory T* FL a less painful experience.

Comments about Zeiss 8x42 Victory T* FL Binocular (Green):
Now at eighty nine and having photographed birds for seventy five years my getting old and tired eyes needed the boost the Zeiss Binocs give.
My other three binoculars are no comparison to the bright and crystal clear image I now can see.
One can always dream about improvements - keep the image quality, lighten the weight and give a wider field of view.
