The high degree of light transmission and the T* multi-coating deliver an accurate image, even in twilight conditions. Even in extreme situations such as rain or high humidity, you’ll always enjoy a clear view thanks to the lenses’ LotuTec® coating, which water droplets and dust particles simply pearl off.

Our Verdict

If you’ve been searching for the perfect pair of binoculars for travel, hikes and enjoyable nature viewing without being heavy or cumbersome, the ZEISS SFL 8x30 Binocular could be the perfect choice. They have been thoughtfully designed to reduce their weight and overall size, through a reduction in the optical lens elements and the use of magnesium housing, which is both tough and light.

ZEISS SFLs are smaller than comparable models, but offer the observing comfort of binoculars with larger lens diameters. A large exit pupil diameter, convenient handling and great ergonomics, enable fatigue-free long-term observation out in the field.
