$1,499.99Spring Forward With SFL Price shown is $200 off the normal cost of this binocular. Until April 30,2026 The new Zeiss SFL 8x30 binocular has the brightness and large exit pupil of a full-sized binocular, but it's lighter and more compact. And so economical! Yet it has that Zeiss excellent optical quality. SFL stands for SmartFocus and Lightweight. SmartFocus means your finger falls instinctively on the focus wheel — no uncomfortable stretching. The focus wheel is broad enough to use in winter with heavy gloves.
