Description
50 mm Bright. 42 mm Light.
The New ZEISS SFL 50 Binoculars.
The ZEISS SFL 50 binoculars offer premium optics in an exceptionally lightweight and
compact design, rivalling traditional 42mm models. Combining outstanding performance
with portability, they are the perfect choice for those seeking optical excellence and
convenience.
Light Weight & Compact Design
The ZEISS SFL 50 binoculars combine the performance of 50mm optics with the
compactness of 42mm models. This is accomplished through an optical design that
prioritises optimal compactness, featuring thinner lens elements, reduced lens diameter
and minimised spacing between lenses. The magnesium housing ensures durability while
keeping the weight low, allowing for comfortable, long-term use without fatigue.
Great optical performance with UHD concept
The ZEISS SFL 50 binoculars provide outstanding optical performance through the
innovative UHD concept. With 90% light transmission and their large exit pupil of 50 mm
they deliver bright images even in low light. At the same time the true-to-life colour fidelity
ensures accurate wildlife identification with clarity. Experience a wide field of view for
immersive observation and a close focusing distance of just 1.8 meters.
These advantages result from a perfectly balanced optical system. The ZEISS T* multi-
coating maximises brightness and colour accuracy, while phase-corrected roof prisms and
glasses featuring high transmission values enhance clarity. Extra-Low-Dispersion glasses
minimise chromatic aberration, and advanced features like Field Flattener Technology and
aspheric lenses guarantee high resolution.
Perfect ergonomics
The ZEISS SFL 50 binoculars are engineered for optimal ergonomics. The SmartFocus
system allows for fast and precise adjustments, requiring only 1.4 turns from close focus
to infinity, ensuring smooth and fatigue-free operation without chatter or distracting
torque. The large focus wheel is ergonomically positioned to prevent over-stretching of
your finger. With an armoured design featuring a coarse surface, the body, focus wheel,
and diopter provide a secure grip, even with gloves.
The weight of the binoculars is shifted towards the eyepiece and is perfectly balanced in
the hand, allowing long and steady observation without fatigue. The comfortable eye
cups, made of soft rubber, offer five adjustable positions and are easy to remove and
clean.
Robust and durable design
The ZEISS SFL 50 binoculars are built with a robust and durable design, featuring
magnesium housing that combines strength with portability. The hydrophobic ZEISS
LotuTec lens coating enhances durability by allowing water to drain off without residue,
whilst also repelling dirt and fingerprints. Furthermore, the nitrogen purging prevents
fogging on the inside.
For added flexibility, the hinge cap allows quick tripod attachment, while removable
eyepiece protection caps and flipping lens covers protect against dirt and rain.
