The ZEISS SFL 50 is the latest ZEISS binocular, adding to the renowned SFL family. The SFL 50 binocular offers premium optics in an exceptionally lightweight and compact design, rivalling the weight of traditional 42mm models. Combining outstanding performance with portability, it is the perfect choice for those seeking optical excellence and convenience.
Available in three options – SFL 8x50, SFL 10x50, and SFL 12x50 – these binoculars deliver exceptional performance without the bulk.

Light weight and 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 50mm, 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 metres.

These advantages result from a perfectly balanced optical system. The ZEISS T* multicoating 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.

  • SmartFocus Concept features a large focus wheel positioned for optimal accessibility, preventing over-stretching of the focusing finger

  • Quick & Precise focusing for fast adjustments, even when wearing gloves

  • Perfectly balanced in the hands, enabling long and steady observation

  • Smooth and robust eyecups enhance comfort and usability

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.

Available in three options – SFL 8x50, SFL 10x50, and SFL 12x50
