Zeiss Victory Series Binoculars - State-of-the-artFor people who do not want to make any compromises when it comes to optical performance and handling in the field. The state of the art Victory FL binoculars in this series use fluoride glass to offer optimum brilliance and color fidelity for authentic image rendition. Furthermore these binoculars feature maximum transmission values and minimum stray light levels so that they have amazing twilight performance. This is not just our opinion. Many trade journalists have noted the FLs' exceptional brilliance and twilight performance.Clearly the leading edge - Victory FL binocularsMaximum brightness contrast resolution and color fidelity light transmission of over 90% optimum edge-to-edge sharpness minimum chromatic aberration widest field of view with wide-angle eyepieces featured with the innovative LotuTec coating - these binoculars and their special lenses with fluoride-containing glasses (FL) amazingly can capture the smallest detail. Low weight as well as visual ease-of-use and exceptional handling in addition to the best optical image quality of its class make the Victory FL unbeatable.LotuTec Protective layer for a crystal clear viewLotuTec is an effective protection coating for eyepiece and objective lenses - thus offering sharper viewing. The coating remarkably reduces soiling of the lens with its strong repelling effect. A principle of nature was the catalyst of this invention: the Lotus leave effect. It describes the water-repelling propery of surfaces to simply repel water drops and dirt.Zeiss specialists were able to apply this principle to the optical glass: a water drop touches the coated surface with a much smaller contact area thus forming a ball that repels without leaving a trace. Oil smears and fingerprints adhere less and can be removed more quickly easily and free from trace - LotuTec makes the cleaning and caring for the lenses very easy. In addition the LotuTec coating is resistant abras

All new Swarovski EL SwaroVision Binoculars The best just got even better - introducing SWAROVISION The revolutionary SWAROVISION TECHNOLOGY from SWAROVSKI OPTIK gives the new EL 42 a previously unequalled image quality. The combination of field flattener lenses HD optic and optimised coatings ensures an impressive image resolution across the entire field of view. Spectacle wearers also benefit from the full wide-angle field of view due to the large eye relief. New Focusing Mechanism - Unique CLose Range Adjustment The new focusing wheel with its unique combination of hard and soft components represents stability and grip. The focusing mechanism is particularly smooth and completely tolerance-free making operation of the new EL SWAROVISION binoculars comfortable and precise for a perfect all-around observation experience. Only two complete turns take you from infinity to the unrivalled close focus of 1.5 metres. Almost immediately the new EL becomes a "magnifying glass" for macro observation of the insect world. The new focusing mechanism enables a correction of defective vision of at least 6 dpt. It also offers a built-in dioptre adjustment of +/- 5 dpt to compensate different visual acuity in each eye. This results in maximum scope for adjustment to individual visual acuity when used without spectacles. Unique EL Wrap-Around Grip with Unbeatable Functionality Featuring the elegant time-tested EL design the new EL is particularly impressive due to its functionality and combination of features. The wrap-around grip and focusing mechanism are designed so that the binoculars can also be held securely and easily operated with one hand even when wearing gloves. All load-bearing parts are made from high-quality light alloys for maximum ruggedness and stability. The new EL has an impressive overall weight due to the weightoptimised magnesium housing. The slender construction and easy to handle rubber armouring ensure a comfortable observation experience even

You sense rather than see the movement.. Slowly you raise your Ultravids to your eyes and there it is. Your first Snowy Owl. Picked out in ultra-clear detail. Despite the background of stark white snow despite the uncertain early-dawn light you can see individual feathers on the bird's head ruffling in the biting wind. The Ultravids are performing as they always have; flawlessly through tropical downpours howling gales in equatorial dust bowls across frozen tundra. That really is something - your first Snowy! Greater sight in low lightThe Ultravid 50 series are ideal for viewing right into the depths of dusk due to optimised image per formance thanks to new high-definition lenses and Leica AquaDuraTM coating for greater visibility in poor weather conditions. LEICA ULTRAVID 12 x 50 HD The 12 x magnification allows for great detail recognition over long distances. The new FL lenses increase the colour fidelity and reduce colour fringing on high-contrast transitions in images. Moreover these high-performance binoculars offer an impressive close focus distance of 3.2 metres. Even extreme cold cannot keep the robust Ultravids from delivering the ultimate viewing experience : the new focusing mechanism on the Leica Ultravid HD models works with high-performance Teflon disks and almost no lubrication. This ensures constant smooth focusing - even at temperatures as low as -25° where other binoculars would surely fail. Fluoride lenses With the help of new fluoride (FL) glass in Leica HD models the color fidelity and contrast of images is further improved. Optical FL lenses are to a large part made up of calcium fluoride a mineral with a crystalline structure. Unlike conventional optical lenses this creates a very low level of dispersion (light scattering) and corrects aberration (imaging errors) significantly better. So as a result the viewing experience is more natural and impressive than it has ever been before. Imitating nature : Leica AquaDuraTM The models of binocul
