Hello

Is the Mono 3x12 T compatible with the Victory sf 8x42?

The website doesn't mention it but I would be surprised if it is not.

Has anybody had any experience with it?

Thanks

Perhaps ask Zeiss.
Usually helpful.

Hi 74,

Read your post just now and have both items.
They fit perfectly.

Hi Jan

Thanks a lot.

Do you mind me asking what adapter you use?

None on the Zeiss website seems to work with the sfs according to the specifications.

Thanks
Gustavo

Gustavo,

No adapter is needed. The inner side of the SF eye cup is elastic and suits the mono perfectly.

Ehhh..... wobbly world. It's more like the Zeiss system. With or without any adapter, it has to fit into the eyecup. The only "not wobbly" system is the Swarovski way: screw the eyecup out and screw their tripler in.
Wasn't their slogan "improve the best"

I have got the tripler, you are right, it fits ver well without the adapter. I think it is actually better without it as I don't need to put the eyecup in and out all the time.

The performance is good (I only tested it with poor light so far as it is dark here already).

As expected, it is not too easy to keep it stable...I will try to come up with something. All in all, it is a great scope "in your pocket".

I used the tripler in normal day light and it is very usable.

In case it helps, to achieve stabilisation without compromising mobility I considered a beanbag and a monopod but I will try the Gorillapod. I have one already for the camera so I will not be loosing anything if it does not work.

I am hoping to be able to attach it to any tree/fence/table/surface in fhe field, and it is something that you can just throw in the bag and have at your fingertips if needed.

I will report back
