Trattamento ZEISS T*

Il trattamento ZEISS T* è garanzia di immagini brillanti e ad alto contrasto che potrete sperimentare soprattutto in condizioni di luce sfavorevoli e al crepuscolo. Dietro di esso, tuttavia, non esiste una formula rigida per la costruzione degli strati. Si tratta invece di una tecnologia che viene costantemente adattata ai nuovi materiali e alle esigenze dei vari vetri, diversa da lente a lente.

Domande frequenti

ZEISS Conquest Apia

Il suo sistema ottico compatto e il peso ridotto lo rendono una scelta eccellente per le lunghe giornate trascorse in movimento.

Con il pollice della mano dominante, è possibile spostare la leva Throw Lever nella direzione dell'ingrandimento massimo o minimo, mentre tutte le altre dita rimangono sulla rotella di messa a fuoco.
