Remarks:
This is the successor of the “Zeiss Victory 8×20 T” (see separate post). In or around 2016, a number of companies stopped the production of their 8×20 pocket binoculars in favor of models with a slightly larger exit pupil, and the format 8×25 became popular (the exception being Leica, which continues its production of the 8×20 Trinovid and Ultravid models). In terms of optical performance, the Zeiss Victory Pocket 8×25 leads the market together with the Swarovski 8×25. Both get highest ratings in their category. Zeiss kept the uneven one-sided hinge design of the 8×20 predecessor, whereas Swarovski continued with the double-hinge design, see separate post “Swarovski CL Pocket 8×25”).
