Zeiss 8x42 Victory SF Binocular

Good Points: Easy to use, wonderful clear viewing.Improvement Points: No!

Good Points: Like having new eyes.Improvement Points: Just perfect.

Good Points: All round excellence in both viewing & build quality. The 'perfect birding' binoculars.

Good Points: Balance, ergonomics, focus wheel position, focus speed, wide field of view brightness, sharpness and lack of distortion.Improvement Points: Once binoculars have the rain guard and objective glass protectors fitted, they don't fit easily into the case. Poor design of case.

Good Points: I have had the previous version for years and remain impressed; I am an everyday binocular user for watches over a wide sea and land area. This new version bought for a friend is a different physical design but still the best I have tried - of any make.

Good Points: Superb clarity and brightnessImprovement Points: Case a bit small , that’s it

Good Points: Fast Focussing, I find it easy to get on a bird.Improvement Points: The case is a bit of a pain, trying to get the bins back in is a bit of a fiddle - sturdy though.

Good Points: Optically and ergonomically superb.Improvement Points: Very minor. Manual is minimal, no instructions on how to best fit the lens caps. Difficult to pack binocs into case once strap is attached. Case strap is not the same colour as the case.

Good Points: Excellent field of view, and superb image quality. Due to the design, the balance and handling is much better than competing models-it feels a lot lighter than it actually is and is very comfortable to use.Improvement Points: Getting the binoculars in the case is a bit awkward.

3D effect, like watching a movie!!! Clear colours, and easy/clear zoom. Will come back with more comments when I have the chance for....stargazing!!!
