- 5' Close Focus Distance
Lightweight, compact, and ergonomic, these 8x40 SFL Binoculars combine ease of use with the premium optical quality ZEISS is known for. The SFL (SmartFocus Lightweight) line uses slightly smaller objective lenses for a significant weight reduction from previous models, making a day of nature observation or sightseeing more comfortable. You'll enjoy the generous field of view for the big picture and the 5' close-focus distance for a good look at that nearby bird or butterfly. Schott HT glass with the famous T* ("T star") coating delivers 90% light transmission for a beautiful image, even in the low light of dusk or dawn. The SFL is nitrogen-filled to prevent internal fogging and waterproof to nearly 14'.

Is it balanced to be heavy on the eyepiece side? That is an ergonomic feature. I think I saw somewhere that it is balanced that way, but the Zeiss literature seems to indicate it is not.
The 42mm SF models are quite long and were designed with more of the weight near the eyepiece. The SFLs are shorter and lighter, that balance shift is not needed. I own the 8x40 SFLs and have no issue with balance.
