Amateurs’s thoughts on Zeiss SFL 8x40
The only optics that can hang tough and compete - equal and or best the Conquests for $1,000 are the Maven B1.2's. Lots of side by side photos of the view through both binos to prove the Mavens are a touch better. Same can be said of the larger B6 10x50s. Those are also the best money you can... -

Amateurs’s thoughts on Zeiss SFL 8x40
I think you are Spot On correct @Dwest . My experiences using the $800-$1000 Zeiss products and Nikon Monarch HG optics up against Swaro EL 8x32 has produced similar wow factor, low light perfomance, and color contrast. The differences are very very subtle between the $1000 glass and... -

Brief comparison berween MHG VS EDG '8X42'
The only optical category I can find fault with the MHG is central sharpness. It’s just ok in my book. For $1,000 or less the heavier and bulkier Conquests outshine the Nikons in sharpness, a characteristic most helpful for long distances and small object identification. I will be very... -

Brief comparison berween MHG VS EDG '8X42'
I agree completely. Conquest in 32 and MHG in 42 for anyone who wants comfortable high image quality at the sub $1,000 price point. Simply can’t go wrong -

Zeiss T*FL 8x32 v Zeiss Conquest 8x32 - discuss!
Something I found interesting between my friend’s Swaro EL SV 8x32 (manufactured right before the model being discontinued) and the Conquest HD, was that I could not tell a difference in color rendering/presentation or transmission in normal day time viewing, all the way up to sunset. I had to... -

Zeiss T*FL 8x32 v Zeiss Conquest 8x32 - discuss!
I always wanted a FL, but never had the opportunity to purchase one at a price I could afford. I found my Conquests here on bird forum like new, and they are absolutely as Stellar as everyone says they are! Have spent a lot of time going back and forth between a friend's Swaro EL 8x32 and the... -

Zeiss HD Conquest 8x32 - Inner eyecup diameter
I think the eyecups are just fine. Durable and easy to operate. A bit stiff, but they stay put, where you put them! No complaints from my extensive field usage. -

Zeiss Terra 8x25 Chinese production - holding up?
Mine, China 2022 manufacture have been excellent, except for the diopter rubber wheel falling off... Which honestly isn't a dealbreaker for me as it's not hard to put back on with a spot of glue. For the price paid: $350, they are excellent. -
