Before I bought mine I contacted Zeiss customer service via email and they told me the exact opposite. They said the Terra's did and Conquests had an HD system but no ED glass. That was less than a year ago so I would think it would be the same glass but perhaps they changed it recently. Anyways I thought that was why the images didnt have much pop to them. Even so the constant need to refocus drove me crazy and I've seen many other reviews that say the same. Yes the Leupold's were the Mojave BX-3 8x32. Nice binos for the money and my suspicion is the Cabela's guide model is a clone as well. Leupold never did produce them with ED glass as they did the full size Mojave BX-3 models which called Mojave BX-3 Pro Guide HD. Interesting they have just introduced the BX-4 Pro Guide HD models and there is an 8x32. I actually just left the post office after mailing the GPOs back. The were super nicely built but I need binos that I can just put up to my face and not have think about. So I also just noticed that Sightron is making an ED 8x32 SIII model. I've heard good things about the non ED model but don't really know much about Sightron. If anybody had any insight I would appreciate it. I did call their CS and was told they are Japanese which is encouraging to me. Thanks</blockquote>
