About this binocular
The Zeiss Dialyt 7x42 B T*P* is Zeiss's classic long-running roof-prism binocular - a 7x42 design that remained in production from 1964 through the 2010s. 7x magnification with 42mm objectives gives a bright, wide field of view ideal for birding, general nature, and steady hand-held use. T*P* signifies Zeiss's premium multi-coating (T*) and phase-corrected prisms (P*).

Best for
A heritage premium Zeiss binocular - the 7x42 Dialyt was a stalwart of serious birding, wildlife observation and general outdoor use for decades. 7x magnification is easier to hold steady than 8x, and the 6mm exit pupil is excellent for low light. Succeeded by the Zeiss Victory series but still widely used and loved.
Frequently asked questions
What do 'T*' and 'P*' mean?
T* is Zeiss's premium multi-layer anti-reflection coating applied to lens surfaces. P* is their phase-correction coating on roof prism surfaces, correcting the phase-split that otherwise softens roof-prism images. Both are essential to serious roof-prism binocular quality.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
