I'm looking at buying a Zeiss Conquest 8x32 HD having been swayed by a good field of view / bright for a 32 / light weighing / spec and the fact it doesn't sell for the mad money of the big guns. However, a salesman from a well known optics outlet has informed me this model is made in China.
I'm not a snob when it comes to Chinese products, but I have been stung before (treated my wife to a brand new £4000 hot tub imported from Canada. Turns out the tub was exported to Canada from China. Two years later and it is leaking like a sieve, I'm informed the electrics are sub-standard, and the thing isn't worth jack.
Can anyone tell me whether Zeiss make the Conquest 8x32, or whether it's construction is sub-contracted. Thanks.
