Buteo Books is pleased to announce that we are now able to offer Zeiss binoculars to our customers. We believe Zeiss makes the best optics available today and this is based, not only on our extensive experience in the field using a variety of makes and models, but published ratings from various sources. At the top end, the Zeiss Victory SF (8x42 and 10x42) are my choices as best in class while the mid-range Conquest series (8x32, 8x42, and 10x42, shown here) offers superb optics and value. There is no substitute for trying binoculars prior to purchase, but feel free to contact Allen Hale at Buteo Books for further information and pricing. Victory SF 8 x 42
