FL 8x32 beats it optically but I have had the focus on that set to be a bit more stiff and 'precision-like', a bit more like Meopta B1 MeoStar 8x32. The Conquest's focus turns more freely and so although their focus gearing is similar, the Conquest is 'quicker on the draw' and suits some habitats better than the FL.All of this just illustrates there is no perfect bino and never could be, different folks have different requirements and even these can change depending on the habitat being visited.Lee</blockquote>
