Not that I find the Terra bad, since I never used better binoculars than the ones I have. The thing I would change in the Terra is the color which is obvious under certain conditions. I hope the Conquest is better in that regard.There are two reasons I bought the 8x42 instead of  the 10x42. First: My hands are not very steady. Second: Since they aren't I rely on IS for higher magnifications. So I got the 18x50. Since this has narrow field of view,  small exit pupil and great magnification I wanted the opposite, the exit pupil of 5mm, a low magnification and field of view over 7 degrees. The 8x32 gives most of those, except of the exit pupil, which I want since I use them also for  astronomy. The Terra and Canon are always paired and balance each other. The 8x32 will be a stand alone and I will probably add another Canon, 10-12x when I get the chance. A reasonable quality 10x50 Porro is much easier to be added at any time and it doesn't  have to be from Germany, there are good Nikons, Pentaxes and other brands also.</blockquote>
