    Zeiss Conquest 10X42 HD-AllBinos Review

    Sure, let's go with that. Overwhelmingly, the consensus is that the HD looks sharp due to poor eyesight of an overwhelming number of individuals. Makes perfect sense.

    Zeiss Conquest 10X42 HD-AllBinos Review

    Here is Allbinos explanation about testing ''astigmatism''.... ASTIGMATISM (10 points) - We considered a level of astigmatism trying to achieve a perfect punctual image of stars. Then focusing in two different distances we measured the vertical and horizontal deformation in relation to...

    Zeiss Conquest 10X42 HD-AllBinos Review

    If there is one thing that Allbinos is pretty unambiguous on, it's the fine astigmatism [sharpness] scores of the two Conquest models. The samples they tested were, no doubt, very sharp - something that matches my own impression of my 8x32 HD - as sharp as my 10x42 FL, with a very positive focus...
