I am just trying out one of the first Conquest HD binoculars to arrive in the UK.
The model in my hand is the 8x42 - and it feels very comfortable in the hand.
First impression after a few minutes of using it is ..........WOW !!!!!
The focus wheel is lovely and smooth and from close focus to inifinity is slightly less than one and a quarter turns.
The image is bright and pin sharp across the field with perfectly natural colours and I cannot see any CA or barrel/pincushion distortion - even at the edges.
Zeiss will be at the Festival of Birds at Slimbridge, Glos, on the 4th and 5th of February and will be displaying the 8x42 Conquest HD on their stand.
