Message: <blockquote data-quote="kkokkolis" data-source="post: 3274113" data-attributes="member: 127913">I received my Conquest HD 8x42. Although I don't have my Terra at hand at the moment, my hands' and eyes' memory makes it affirmative that the Conquest is a significantly better binocular, one or more bits better on any aspect. But the Terra has -apart from closer focus- better accessories. The objective caps are harder and they are held in place with two better clips and cords. Conquest's is very soft and needs another clip (I'll exchange the cords between them and problem will be solved). The ocular caps are softer too, although they fit nicely and I think I can keep them. The eyecaps have better fit on my face but their clics are less positive, perhaps because they are intended to be unscrewed (and this can happen unintentionally). The longer eyecaps are ordered but with glasses it is perfect. Withought glasses I need 1mm more, not to avoid blackouts a but for better field superimposition.I saw the CA immediately on a black and white poster but it seems that there is a narrower zone of false color. I'll try them side by side on the same targets for that. And both on the USAF 1951 from the same distance and mounted. For the rest there's not much need to see which one is better, it is very obvious. it is also obvious that the Conquest isn't 250% better as implied by the price. It looks like 15-25% better if I could quantify it totally subjectivelly. But that's how it  is.</blockquote>
