Our Verdict
If you’ve been searching for the perfect pair of binoculars for travel, hikes and enjoyable nature viewing without being heavy or cumbersome, the ZEISS SFL 8x30 Binocular could be the perfect choice. They have been thoughtfully designed to reduce their weight and overall size, through a reduction in the optical lens elements and the use of magnesium housing, which is both tough and light.
ZEISS SFLs are smaller than comparable models, but offer the observing comfort of binoculars with larger lens diameters. A large exit pupil diameter, convenient handling and great ergonomics, enable fatigue-free long-term observation out in the field.
