Brilliant, razor-sharp images

Precision at close quarters
Active outdoor lifestyles demand compact, durable and versatile binoculars. The ZEISS TERRA ED delivers razor-sharp images of far-away objects. But it can also observe nature up close with great precision. With a generous wide field of view and a close focus distance of just 5.25 ft (TERRA ED 32+42) or 6.23 ft (TERRA ED Pocket), the TERRA ED is ideal for nature observation, whether the object is far across the field or in the tree just above you.
Compact, light and robust
The ZEISS TERRA ED family is lightweight and trail-tough so it packs easily and stands up to rugged terrain. Easy-grip surfaces let you grab and lift the binoculars quickly to your eye. Smooth focus and ergonomically correct eyecups make viewing comfortable and natural. At just 10.9 ounces, the ZEISS TERRA ED Pocket is the lightest weight model in its class.
Wide fields of view
With generous fields of view for their magnification, you can quickly pick out individual birds and wildlife from large groups and seek out hidden animals in clumps of bushes.
Optimal ergonomics
Comfortable observation is not just a matter of lenses. Ergonomics plays a major role, too – The TERRA ED shares the ZEISS binocular family's innovative modern design. The comfortable focus system with the large focussing wheel ensures easy handling, optimum grip and precise focussing even wearing gloves. The eyecups round off its ergonomic perfection. Slightly slanted, they are carefully aligned to aid observational comfort.
