That is the best binocular I have EVER purchased for $675.00 from Cameraland as a Demo.
How many binoculars have you EVER purchased for $675.00 from Cameraland as a Demo?

Zeiss gave its wishes for the Conquests to Kamakura, it was then completely made in Japan
Florian,
Of course Zeiss has given Kamakura design and specification wishes, but nobody needs to tell Kamakura how to make good optics, the company does that already for many years for many brands.

What I meant is I feel the Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32 which I purchased for $675.00 is the best bargain I have ever found in a binocular. The price/performance ratio is higher than any other binocular I have purchased.How many binoculars have you EVER purchased for $675.00 from Cameraland as a Demo?
Gijs, surely you know better than to make a statement like that without naming the source. I've heard this claim repeated now a few times, always from people like you with "well placed" yet anonymous sources. Frankly, I don't care much but I sure get tired of things like this posted as fact when, in fact, we have only your say so.
Name your source.
I am hoping that will be the end of the comments about the Zeiss Conquest
from this source. I am thinking he has not even looked through the
Conquest HD.
He is highly biased toward Swarovski, and likes to downplay Nikon and
Zeiss. Surely not professional for someone who publishes reviews, and
uses a (Dr.) title as something that would impress.
It seems there are several of us here, who have tired of this stuff.

What I don't understand - why would naming the place of manufacturing of the Conquest HD possibly downplay that binocular? We already know that the Japanese can make excellent binoculars, so what's the point. The previous Conquest was made in Hungary, Leicas were made in Portugal, nothing bad with that as long as they are good.
But here is another point: Dennis received a demo glass, the Cornell lab requested demo glasses from Zeiss for their test - these were selected items, certainly checked very carefully for possible flaws. Whether or not the focus-drift problem of the Conquest HD is solved by now? We cannot judge upon these reports. We need more of the conventional users who purchase them without the pre-selection that occurred in the above examples.
Cheers,
Holger
Holger:
You seem to be challenging my post, and so why is that?
I do acknowledge the quality of Japanese made optics, I consider them to
be among the very best. I enjoy several examples of Japans finest glass.
The Zeiss Conquest HD is stamped made in Germany. For anyone
to come on here, and tell us all about where they are made, unless
it is someone I trust and from Zeiss, I will question that.
Tell us more about how anyone named Dennis, or any focus issue
you are referring to, would enter into this. I did not know there was
any focus problem, with the Conquest HD, as it has not been mentioned on this forum.
Cheers,
Jerry
