Building on the success of the 20mm version, the larger-objective ZEISS 8x25 Victory Pocket Binoculars are engineered with improved performance—including a wider field of view and exit pupil, with a longer eye-relief, to boost their overall performance and handling. Complementing these improvements is a moderate magnification that brings subjects in close without the associated visible hand shake common in higher-power optics to provide users with an immersive observational experience.

This larger-objective model maintains the optical technology of earlier iterations to ensure the overall visual performance users have come to expect from ZEISS. The optical path features phase-corrected Schmidt-Pechan roof prisms with dielectric mirror coatings. These prisms maximize acuity and light throughput while eliminating aberrations and distortion. The lenses are fully multi-coated with ZEISS' iconic T* anti-reflective multi-coatings and their LotuTec protective coating. T* multi-coatings increase light transmission while eliminating lens flare and glare, while improving color rendition, clarity, and contrast. The LotuTec coating helps maintain the integrity of each external lens surface by repelling liquids and debris for a clear view in any conditions, weather, or situation.

The Victory's housing is made of a lightweight and strong magnesium alloy, wrapped in a protective rubber armor that provides a slip-resistant grip. Their optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to deliver waterproof performance, while resisting internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature or environmental conditions. The distinctive offset hinge design provides a visibly unique and compact form factor that is easy to adjust and use one-handed.

Optically superb. I have the 8x25, wish the eye cups would come out about another mm (when all the way out), no big deal I automatically position my hands for perfect eye placement. I think Zeiss has done very well here with the firmness of the hinge, on older generations I feel they were weak here. The whole binocular seems very sturdy. Precision all they way around on this binocular. Cons: the binocular has a smell to them, its letting up some after 2 weeks now, hopefully the smell will continue to weaken. 5

These are amazing. Almost all my optical devices have been Zeiss, so Im very familiar with their quality, and this is no exception. Its small form factor enables it to ride along in my shirt pocket. Im a long-time birder, but didnt really recognize the full importance of this size. Ive often wished for binoculars during everyday meanderings but they were in the car, or at home. Just this spring, I had the occasion to view migrating birds (9 warblers, Green Heron, and more) at a lake, which I otherwise would have missed. The field of view is awesome for binos of this size. And the legendary Zeiss clarity is fantastic. I grant you that the light admission is not as great as 10 x 56 Zeiss Night Owls, but they dont weigh a nudge over three pounds, either. My only regret is that I didnt buy these sooner. 5

These binocularsf are everything you would hope for: light weight, very sharp and very bright. When I look at a bird in the shadows of a tree, it looks brighter through the binoculars than it does in reality! These binocs let in a lot of light. 5

We purchased these binoculars for hiking, hoping for something light yet with good clarity (bright field of view). The Zeiss 8x25 are indeed light and bright, rivaling the larger and heavier 8 x 30 Swarovski binoculars we use for birding. They have good ergonomics and are particularly good if you wear glasses. Though they are a bit pricey you get the quality you pay for. I highly recommend these binoculars. 5

Susan	04/08/2024
These Binoculars are an excellent piece of equipment, especially for the price. They are clear, bright, and exceptionally lightweight. I don't think you can find a better pair of lightweight binoculars anywhere. We purchased both these and the Zeiss 8x25 Terra ED Compact Binoculars. Both are wonderful, but the Victory Pocket Binoculars are a bit better. 5

Started looking for compact binoculars after a trip to California last month that had me hiking around Point Lobos State Park and wishing I had magnification at every twist and turn. My main binocs are a great 30 y.o. pair of Leica 8x32 Trinovids that weigh about 26 ounces, and I had decided not to pack them this time. When I got back I started the endless research loop, reading up on seemingly every popular alternative, from the Wirecutter's favorite $130 Pentax bins to the Zeiss Terra TLs Amazon was/is selling for $200 and up. I had almost settled on the Leica Trinovid 10x25s when B&H advisors suggested I stick with 8x, to keep the image steadier, and recommended these, the Zeiss Victory Pockets as the best available. I still dithered, and ultimately ordered both these (from B&H) and Leica Ultravid 8x20s from another retailer. Tried them both for several days and it was, in the end, no contest. I wear glasses and I could not get the Leica's to work for me easily--I would eventually get both scopes showing an image and merge them into one, but it took a fiddling. And the Leicas were clearly less bright, and stiffer to focus. The Zeiss, by contrast, showed the benefit of a larger exit pupil, more eye relief, and a larger objective. They're dead easy to use, work for evening walks to our local duck pond, and are marginally easier to hold steadier than the admirably tiny and light Leicas. They cost a bomb and I still can't believe I actually ponied up that much cash, but I plan to leave them to my son so they'll amortize well, and in the meantime they are exactly what I wanted: good glass that I can have with me just about al the time. 5

This binocs brighten the field of view. Their quality come out especially at dusk and dawn in low light. The optics greatly illuminate or brighten the field of view. Highly recommended. 5

Lynn	26/06/2024
These are just gorgeous binoculars! The image is bright, and they feel good in the hand and are easy to adjust and focus. I was worried by a note in another review that the asymmetrical design might be less good for someone with small hands. My hands are on the small side for an adult woman, but I can reach the focus wheel with my right index finger, no problem. 5

Richard	22/05/2024
I bought these to have something lightweight when out doing photography. Hanging around my neck they are basically unnoticed, yet right there when I need them. Very bright and crystal clear. They come in very handy when looking for birds or other game that are not yet in range for photography. 5

One of the features I like about these binos is the locking mechanism of the eyepieces. Locks in place when they are deployed and locks when retracted. Image radiant and consistent w my Zeiss 10x32 Victory FL and Leica 8x42 Ultras. Returning from Amazon River Basin in 2018 expedition I grew to appreciate compact and pocket binos. My highest priority now is to find appropriate caps and a proper strap that won't break as I jump in/out of skiffs on the Amazon. Or, just carry them in my Lowepro Dashpoint 20 camera pouch on my tactical belt. It will be fun. 5
