Some of you may have read posts of mine in the past where I was critical of the Conquest, specifically the depth of field. The last pair of 8x32s I had, had very little and this had nothing to do with the focus speed as I would remove my finger when testing dof. Recently I had the opportunity to buy a used pair in excellent condition for a very reasonable price and decided to try them again. Well there are no issues with dof with this pair. I can only assume my last pair had some sort of alignment issue. So now I see why so many of you are enamored with this little gem! I was definitely wrong about them so if I offended any of you feel free to throw some jabs.
