The Evolution in Violet: Maximum Separation, Ultimate Clarity
With the 25CIED Elderberry, Pilla presents a sophisticated new violet tint within the Chromashift Infrared family. This lens was specifically designed for shooters who require perfect visual separation between target and background without the image appearing overexposed.
The unique feature of the Elderberry lens lies in its enhanced attenuation of the red components in the spectrum, which paradoxically causes the target (especially orange clay targets) to virtually "jump out" of its surroundings. At the same time, distracting green light is effectively suppressed, resulting in an extreme contrast boost, particularly in wooded or grassy shooting ranges.
The highlights of the 25CIED Elderberry:
- Chromashift Infrared (CIED) Power: Uses the infrared spectrum to define contours more sharply and accelerate target acquisition.
- Effective background suppression: Green backgrounds are specifically softened so that the focus is 100% on the target.
- Vibrant & Controlled: Despite the vivid color reproduction, the field of vision remains controlled and protects the eyes from overstimulation.
- Modern Visual Signature: A glass that is not only technically state-of-the-art for 2026, but also visually striking with its elegant elderberry tone.
- Expert tip: The 25CIED is the ideal all-round contrast lens for medium lighting conditions. Those who love violet tones will be thrilled by the clarity and three-dimensional depth of the Elderberry tint.

So that your Pilla-Gläser retain maximum optical performance and clarity for years, proper care is essential. Since these are high-precision optics from ZEISS, they require gentle handling.
Here are the most important tips for cleaning and storage:
Daily Cleaning
Remove coarse dirt: Before touching the Gläser with a cloth, you should carefully blow off dust or sand or rinse them under lukewarm, running water. This prevents hard particles from causing scratches when wiping.
Cleaning agents: Never use aggressive household cleaners, glass cleaners, or alcohol-containing wipes. A drop of mild, pH-neutral dish soap (without moisturizing balms) and lukewarm water are ideal for dissolving skin oils and sweat. Preferably use ZEISS eyeglass cleaner.
Drying: Pat the Gläser dry after rinsing with a clean, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid rubbing with high pressure.

Frequently asked questions
Does the eyewear fit with hearing protection?
Yes — the design has been optimized for compatible use with standard hearing protection; many club shooters confirm a comfortable combination.
Does that really make such a difference?
Yes – enhanced contrast perception and reduced fogging lead to faster target acquisition in independent tests. Our professional testers report significant improvements in reaction time.
Isn't a cheap pair of glasses enough?
Inexpensive glasses save money in the short term, but they can have distortions, fogging, or a lack of shatter protection — increasing the risk of poor decisions in competition. Pilla minimizes these variables with tested components.
