ZEISS Receives a Pair of Industry Recognitions



CHESTER, VIRGINIA - ZEISS optics have won the 2009 Outdoor Life Editor's Choice award in both the full-size binocular and compact optics categories with two leading-edge, opto-electronics products. The Victory 10x45 T* RF rangefinding binocular, with a built-in Ballistic Information System (BISâ„¢) that allows shooters to calculate the appropriate hold-over for their particular load out to 1,300 yards, was the top choice in the full-size category. The editors had this to say about it: "This is quite possibly the last binocular you'll need to buy.....This handful from Zeiss features best-in-class glass combined with a fast, accurate rangefinder. The Victory turned in the crispest resolution in the test (by far)...."

In the compact optics category, the Zeiss Victory 8x26 T* PRF rangefinding monocular with BISâ„¢ won the top award. According to the editors, "The optics on this monocular/ laser rangefinder are so good that we opened the field, previously limited to compact binoculars, to all optics with objective lenses smaller than 30mm. This device easily bested the category's two binoculars in resolution and the low-light test."

The awards were presented by Todd W. Smith, editor-in-chief of Outdoor Life, at the National Rifle Association's 2009 Annual Meeting and Exhibit in Phoenix, AZ on May 15. Erik Schumacher, president of Carl Zeiss Sports Optics, stated afterwards, "We are honored and extremely pleased that the Outdoor Life optics test team was as impressed as our customers have been by the innovation that went into the creation of the ZEISS Victory RF binocular and Victory PRF monocular. The quality, both optically and opto-electronically, of both products is a testament to Carl Zeiss' continued commitment to producing the finest sports optics in the world, and we deeply appreciate Outdoor Life's recognition of our efforts."
