Hello -
I need to find out the largest outer diameter measurement of the barrel on the Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32. Unfortunately, I don't have access to my binoculars at the moment, so I was hoping some kind soul on the forum would help me, please. TIA! Lee
Thank you, Lee.
Yep, I know about the differing thicknesses. Thanks for measuring for me!
Best,
Lee
Hah...actually the opposite. I'm prepping for the solar eclipse this summer and wanted to acquire the right size filters. My binoculars happen to be up in NC (where I'll be for the eclipse) and I didn't want to wait to order the filters.
I figured that a birding forum would be the best place to ask the measurement question. :t:
v10tdi = 4.9L VW Touareg...She's getting a bit long in the tooth now, but the engine is still an absolute monster, the air suspension is GREAT and the locking center and rear differentials have gotten me out of many tight spots.
Didn't know about the threaded Kowa bins. I confess I'm not much of a binocular person - I just can't hold my hands steady enough despite trying proper technique. So I only own that one Zeiss Conquest kit that my wife uses. I do mostly photography (m43 kit) and a lot of hiking so I have to go as light as possible. L~
Thanks for the safety advice. I'll make sure there are no gaps, that the filters are secured with multiple methods and well tested prior to using them in front of my eyes...
Will the eclipse reach totality at your location?...
...With good weather, the picture should be pretty nice, but just missing totality...
...Depending on conditions, I might choose an alternate location near Bryson (north side of totality) or Murphy (south side of totality).
