Carl Zeiss Binoculars

Why buy Carl Zeiss?

Carl Zeiss binoculars are some of the most advanced pair of binoculars you can buy. A lot of their models have a laser view finding attachment for hunting or bird watching etc.  Carl Zeiss have a wider range of binoculars than most other manufacturers, specifically designed for hunting, bird watching, outdoor excursions, water sports and even astronomy. These binoculars have made a sound footing in the binoculars market. Carl Zeiss have been manufacturing optical equipment almost longer than any other leading brand and their binoculars are the best selling in the world next to rival company Canon.

Short history of Carl Zeiss

Starting over one hundred and fifty years ago, Carl Zeiss began with less than one hundred employees and almost no budget. The innovations and new technologies almost revolutionized the industry on the basis of research and development performed by Ernest Abbe. Carl Zeiss was the inventing company behind binoculars with roof prisms. They opened in around 1846 and have gone on leaps and bounds, but not without problems along the way. Due to the forced partition of Germany during the Second World War, Carl Zeiss was broken into two companies, one in East and one in West Germany. It was not until 1990 that Carl Zeiss was reunited as one. Carl Zeiss is now one of the UK, US and Europe’s leading manufacturers and distributors of all optical equipment.
