I still have no tested outdoor, but here are my first impressions. First of all conquest 8x20 are really tiny. That's is one of the things I was interested. The handling is good for such compact size and they seem robust. About the optics I compared against the Olympus pci 8x24 (very good bino for the price). The Olympus are brighter, no doubt about this. About the fov I think that is the same, but I need test it outdoor. What surprised me is that trying to read a book with drawings at 10m :The Olympus shows bigger letters.The Zeiss shows a "pop up" on letters. It's more obvious when there are different colors as on drawings etc. It's like a3d effect. Have you notice something like this?The resolution seems better on Zeiss. Thanks in advance</blockquote>
