The great outdoors await with awe-inspiring experiences that you simply don''t want to miss. But longer excursions are often associated with a need to lug around heavy equipment and the resulting neck pain. All the better if the choice of the right binoculars does not add to the burden. This is because, with the new ZEISS SFL binoculars, you can enjoy all those magical outdoor moments with a new level of ease. This model combines all the advantages of high-performance binoculars with the compactness of pocket binoculars, guaranteeing a carefree, comfortable, and outstanding viewing experience.

Because Every Gram Counts
Optimized for a lightweight and compact size in every respect, the SFL series perfectly complements the other binoculars in the ZEISS SF family. The lightweight yet rugged magnesium housing also enhances durability and longevity - for generations to come. The smaller lens diameter allowed us to use thinner lens elements that could be installed closer together. At the same time, the SFL binoculars offer perfect image quality despite the incredible reduction in weight and volume.

Experience Nature in All Its Splendor
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. The high degree of light transmission and the T* multicoating 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 of. The ergonomics of the new ZEISS SFL models have been optimized to make positioning the eye quick and easy, providing a comfortable and immersive viewing experience.

Everything Under Control
Our proven SmartFocus concept makes handling the binoculars easy and comfortable. It includes a perfectly positioned focus wheel in the DoubleLink Bridge for fast and precise focusing - even when wearing gloves. Whether you have everything in view or an eye for the smallest details, the focusing range from close focus to infinity is only 1.4 rotations apart. Improved eyecups also guarantee an ergonomic feel with smooth transitions between the touchpoints, which are precisely defined and can be reached perfectly. So that you never miss a moment in the great outdoors.


Product Features

Ultralight and Compact Design
During long outings in the great outdoors, bird-watching can become an arduous task due to the amount of equipment you need. With its new SFL binoculars - "SmartFocus and Lightweight" - ZEISS now offers compact high-performance binoculars that, thanks to their lightweight, do not add to the load, even on longer excursions. The new SFL binoculars are optimized in every respect for a lightweight and compact size. For example, the lens diameter has been reduced by 2 mm, making it possible to use thinner lens elements at closer spacing and thus reduce the binoculars'' weight by up to 20% and their volume by up to 13% compared to the ZEISS Victory SF models. As a result, the new SFL binoculars are up to 30% lighter than comparable products from competitors. The lightweight but rugged magnesium housing also enhances durability and longevity - for generations to come.

Outstanding Optical Performance
Despite their lightweight and compact design, the new SFL models are high-performance binoculars through and through. With a field of view of up to 140 meters at a distance of 1,000 meters (SFL 8x40) and a closest focusing distance of 1.5 meters, they deliver a perfect overview combined with precise detail recognition. 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 colours with natural fidelity. This makes it possible to precisely identify the smallest features in the plumage and reliably distinguish between species. Thanks to the LotuTec® coating, water droplets and dust particles simply pearl off the lenses, ensuring that you have a clear view at all times. 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.

Perfect Ergonomics
When observing nature, you often need to react quickly so as not to miss the right moment. The new SFL binoculars'' easy and convenient handling offers a clear advantage in this respect because 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, is not only rugged but also 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.

The perfect ergonomics of the new ZEISS 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 touchpoints, which are precisely defined and can be reached perfectly.
