What was the criticism of the old Conquest 8x30? (1 Viewer)

Zeiss have clearly said there will be no HT 8x32, so while a new alpha 32mm will undoubtedly appear in the fullness of time, I wouldn't hold your breath.
And the FL is so good.......

I believe he`s got an 8x42HT and is looking for a great 8x32 to replace an SE.

That`s a tough bin to replace !

They're worth more than that to me. I don't mind keeping them.

CSG, personally I would`nt take my Victory 8x32fl back at any cost if it meant giving up my SE which offers a superior view IMO.

For an SE replacement I`d say you need an EDG or SV (can`t believe I`m agreeing with Dennis again !).

I will echo David and Torview.

CA and a narrow view!

FL 8x32 has 420' view at 1,000 yds vs 360' for the Conq 8x30 and is brighter and sharper and much better CA control IMHO. FL also focuses closer although its a couple of ozs heavier.

Conq HD is very nearly as sharp, isn't quite as bright and doesn't handle CA as well as FL, but, it is fabulous value for money. Although there have been issues reported with blackouts with HD 42mm (I didn't experience these) I haven't seen this reported anywhere for HD 32.

Good luck whatever you decide o
