Description
Building on the success of the 20mm version, the larger-objective ZEISS 8x25 Victory Pocket Binoculars are engineered with improved performance including a wider field of view and exit pupil, with a longer eye-relief, to boost their overall performance and handling. Complementing these improvements is a moderate magnification that brings subjects in close without the associated visible hand shake common in higher-power optics to provide users with an immersive observational experience.This larger-objective model maintains the optical technology of earlier iterations to ensure the overall visual performance users have come to expect from ZEISS. The optical path features phase-corrected Schmidt-Pechan roof prisms with dielectric mirror coatings. These prisms maximize acuity and light throughput while eliminating aberrations and distortion. The lenses are fully multi-coated with ZEISS' iconic T* anti-reflective multi-coatings and their LotuTec protective coating. T* multi-coatings increase light transmission while eliminating lens flare and glare, while improving color rendition, clarity, and contrast. The LotuTec coating helps maintain the integrity of each external lens surface by repelling liquids and debris for a clear view in any conditions, weather, or situation.The Victory's housing is made of a lightweight and strong magnesium alloy, wrapped in a protective rubber armor that provides a slip-resistant grip. Their optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to deliver waterproof performance, while resisting internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature or environmental conditions. The distinctive offset hinge design provides a visibly unique and compact form factor that is easy to adjust and use one-handed.Optical Performance 8x magnification25mm objective lensesCompact Schmidt-Pechan roof prism light pathPhase-corrected dielectric mirror prism coatings limit internal diffraction to enhance clarity, light transmission, and contrastExtra-low dispersion fluoride glass limits chromatic aberrations to produce clearer and sharper views with little or no color fringingT* fully multi-coated optics improve light transmission, color rendition, clarity, and contrast while reducing lens flare and glareLotuTec coating: Sheds water, dirt, grease, and grime; lenses can be easily wiped clean without smearingWide 60 apparent angle of view390' field of view at 1000 yardsUse and Handling Closed-bridge / single-hinge configurationFast and accurate center focusing wheel 3 right-eye dioptric correctionBroad 35-72mm interpupillary adjustment range to accommodate a wide variety of usersTwist-up rubber eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewearLong 16.5mm eye relief3.1mm exit pupilConstruction Details Unique asymmetrical offset hinge allows the binoculars to fold flatter and more compact than traditional center-hinge configurationsPrism design is slimmer than traditional roof prisms, providing similar performance with thinner optical tubesImpact-resistant and lightweight magnesium-alloy chassisNitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature and environmental conditionsProtective rubber armoring provides a secure no-slip gripWide -13 to 145 F (-25 to 63 C) operating temperatureCompact: 4.5x4.4"Lightweight: 10.9 ounces
