The <strong>Ultra-High-Definition (UHD) Concept <\/strong>ensures that the binoculars deliver the highest level of detail and reproduce colors with natural fidelity thanks to a special coating and an improved optical design. The high degree of light transmission and the T* multicoating deliver an accurate image, even in twilight conditions. With a field of view of up to 140 meters at a distance of 1,000 meters and a closest focusing distance of 1.5 meters, the binoculars deliver a perfect overview both from a distance and at close range. Combining high image resolution and immense detail recognition, the ZEISS SFL allows nature observers to distinguish between even the smallest features in plumage and reliably identify different species. This is complemented by the LotuTec\u00ae coating on the lenses, which guarantees a clear view even in rain and mud thanks to its beading effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/blogs.zeiss.com\/sports-optics\/birding\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Zeiss_Sydney_2111_1684_V3-klein.jpg);background-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.zeiss.com\/sports-optics\/birding\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Zeiss_Sydney_2111_1684_V3-klein.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2462 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.zeiss.com\/sports-optics\/birding\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Zeiss_Sydney_2111_1684_V3-klein.jpg 667w, https:\/\/blogs.zeiss.com\/sports-optics\/birding\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Zeiss_Sydney_2111_1684_V3-klein-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blogs.zeiss.com\/sports-optics\/birding\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Zeiss_Sydney_2111_1684_V3-klein-640x960.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 98vw, (max-width: 1199px) 64vw, 667px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>When observing nature, sometimes a few seconds is the different between missing or observing a memorable moment.
