Description:

Zeiss have been making Top quality Binoculars for a long time & these are no exception. The styling & feel are superb, the optics are clear, crisp & very sharp. They have a 45mm objective which Is more than big enough & the 15x magnification Is very easy to keep a steady Image when handholding, which Is also very easy to keep up for long periods. At 625g these binoculars are very light Indeed. I did receive a few comments when enquiring about these binoculars & some said that you would need a tripod or something to keep them steady because of the high magnification. That cannot be further from the truth. I would highly recommend these Zeiss 15x45 BT Conquest for anyone Interested In birding. Fantastic & great value for your money.. They are Bak4 prism with a close focusing of 3m with a field of view at 64m. Also watertight & nitrogen purged to stop internal fogging. For people who want that higher magnification for long distance nature viewing, you would be hard pushed to find a better pair of binoculars..

Pros:	Lightweight, bright, good resolution
Cons:	price and field of view for birding

I've had this binocular for about three years and find the lightweight a definite plus. This gets carried many more places than a heavier instrument would!

Brightness and resolution are very good.

The magnification and objective lens size gives the expected narrow field of view. The lightness of the binocular makes it much easier to hold the view than a heavier instrument would be. The effort to find a moving image is understandably more than it would be with a larger objective lens. Many birders will find a larger field of view more desirable for quickly acquiring a fast-moving bird.

I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a good, close-up image.
