I have been reading posts about the apparent inferior/cheap/ defective eye cups on the Zeiss Conquest HD.
I am wondering if this issue has been great exaggerated, or is it still a concern even on the current production models?
Was, or is, this a problem ONLY on the 8x42 power, or throughout the line?
Should this issue stop one from buying them? I ask this because all the professional and user reviews have all be overwhelming positive, with just a
very small percentage mentioning this eye cup issue. Cabela's 7 user reviews ALL give it 5 stars without even a mention of this so called eye cup issue.
Same deal with ALL of Amazon, Optics Planet and B&H Photo's reviews also! Not a SINGLE mention of this issue!
This leads me to believe this is a VERY minor issue that the mast majority of users even notice. So is this nick picking by the users complaining about this,
or a valid reason NOT to purchase them?? I am an eyeglass wear, but my glasses are small and sit close to my face.
The conquest 10 x 42 is a binocular that fits my strict requirements perfectly.....small minimum IPD, great eye relief and good close focus and good looking!
Any thoughts??
