The Victory FL Binoculars (10x42) from Carl Zeiss are all-purpose binoculars that offer a large field of view. The 42mm lens provides optimum light transmission and the 10x magnification is perfect for scouting and glassing. These durable binoculars are loaded with great features that make them an ideal choice for stalking or stand hunting.

As with all Victory FL binoculars, the 10x42 are specially designed to maximize your experience in the field. These binoculars utilize Carl Zeiss' optical engineering fundamentals, such as the FL Concept and LotuTec lens coating. Carl Zeiss has developed these binoculars with advanced ergonomics and perfect balance to promote comfortable use, even during prolonged observation. These premium waterproof and nitrogen-filled binoculars also feature dielectric mirror coatings for superior image brightness and contrast, twist up eyecups for operating comfort, and an award-winning offset hinge design for exceptional compactness and handling.

FL Concept for Sharper Images and Vivid Colors
Victory FL binoculars employ the revolutionary Carl Zeiss FL Concept -- an optical system that uses fluoride glass to achieve the highest level of performance. The FL Concept provides brighter, sharper images with highly saturated, vivid colors. This treatment also delivers extended twilight and low-light performance, even in harsh weather. Unlike ordinary optical systems, the FL Concept minimizes chromatic aberrations and virtually eliminates stray light interference, fuzzy images, and low contrast to provide clearer viewing.

LotuTec Lens Coating for Inclement Weather
Taking its name from the traits of a lotus leaf, the LotuTec coating on the Victory FL binoculars' objective and ocular lenses repels water so efficiently that raindrops actually roll right off the glass. And the super-smooth lens surface can be wiped clean without smearing or damaging the optics. This revolutionary coating was even honored with the prestigious Gray's Best award, recognizing LotuTec as the only optical process that allows lenses to completely shed water, even in the heaviest downpours.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bright and crisp. Worth every penny., November 8, 2008

By	VLSI_Engineer (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Carl Zeiss Victory FL Binoculars (10x42) (Sports)

I have used quite a few binoculars but this one is really the last one I will ever own.

The brightness, eye relief, and collimation are excellent. You can tell that an extraordinary amount of precision went into manufacturing these binoculars. The image is very cohesive creating a single large extremely bright image that rivals even binoculars with larger exit pupils. There is no eyestrain in any conditions and the lenses remain crystal clear and provide a high contrast image even in the most difficult foggy situations.

The price is high, but when you use them, you will know why.

WOW, these bino's are amazing. I've looked through many cheap, mid priced, and high end bino's these are the one's I left with. One of the few cases where you get what you pay for.
