Introduction<\/h2>\n

At the Iwa Outdoor 2018<\/strong>, Zeiss<\/strong> introduced a new model of laser rangefinder binoculars<\/strong> with a real-time ballistic computer<\/strong> integrated. In our opinion, these binoculars replaced the previous Victory RF<\/strong><\/a> model and are the lightest and most beautiful laser range finding binoculars on the market. They are available in 8×42<\/strong><\/a>, 10×42<\/strong><\/a>, 8×54<\/strong><\/a> and 10×54<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

8×42<\/strong><\/a> and 10×42<\/strong><\/a> are more suitable for the daylight<\/strong> use, while 8×54<\/strong><\/a> and 10×54<\/strong><\/a> will perform better in twilight<\/strong> conditions.<\/p>\n

About Victory RF<\/a><\/h2>\n

Zeiss continues the trend with 54 mm SCHOTT HT lenses<\/strong> as on the previous model, providing the same light transmission with a lower mass. The 54 mm<\/strong> models are extremely compact and convenient, considering what a large amount of light they gather and how bright the image they provide is. Zeiss is the only premium optics manufacturer that offers a 10×54 configuration in LRF<\/strong> binoculars segment \u2013 neither Leica nor Swarovski have this. Victory RF are the first binoculars of their kind that do not have an appearance of a laser rangefinder<\/strong> since all the elements are hidden under the surface<\/strong> and blend well with the whole look. The exception is the two buttons on the upper side of the binoculars which are visible yet very well disguised in the armoring. This LRF<\/strong> model has the best ergonomics we have seen so far in this category. The design has a typical and classic “Zeiss look<\/strong>” \u2013 there are no significant differences from other models. It is extremely well-built from high-quality materials. The construction is made of high-grade magnesium and is coated in smooth and durable rubber. The eyepieces are also improved<\/strong> and so is the focusing system<\/strong> which is very precise. As for the resolution, they are on the same level as the Victory HT<\/strong> binoculars, but as far as the light transmittance is concerned, they are only a few percents behind the HT. Zeiss Victory RF binoculars are capable of displaying measurements up to 2300 meters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
