    Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32 - oh my!

    No idea what you mean... reported where? They are 32's - what more do you need to know? I bought new for £700.00 GBP, so yes. .

    Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32 - oh my!

    These days we need to be careful not to offend anyone, so I say 'Made on Planet Earth'. (But not including China... whoops, that magnanimity didn't last long.) .

    Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32 - oh my!

    And the moon is made of cheese*, period. I don't care what NASA tells us. *I know for a fact that it's Emmental (with all those holes in it), so don't try telling me it's Jarlsberg. .

    Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32 - oh my!

    Now that IS what I call an alternative fact. ;-) Mine have got 'Made in Germany' clearly printed on the focus wheel. Although if any of the components are made in Japan that's fine with me. Upland. As I understand it, EU rules allow a product to be labelled 'Made in ...' (any EU country) if the...

    Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32 - oh my!

    They're about £100.00 more than the Conquest's in an 8x32/33 (more if comparing the 8x42 with the 8.5x44). I know that's not much, but like I said, I was already stretching from a BD budget... felt I had to draw the line somewhere. My dealer didn't have the 8x33 Genesis in stock and I didn't...

    Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32 - oh my!

    Thanks, but I already bought the Conquest, although it was tight between it and the BD (not least because I started out with a BD budget). The Genesis was a stretch too far price-wise. (I can't find anyone who thinks the Trinovid is an upgrade to a Conquest, but you alluded to that). I do like...

    Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32 - oh my!

    FWIW, I was shown a pair of Swarovski NL Pure 8x42's costing £2400.00. Felt nice, but they were big and heavy. They were only better than the Conquest, optically, in the periphery; sharp almost to the very edges. I wouldn't have bought the Swaro's, even if I had that budget, because of the size...

    Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32 - oh my!

    I was told only the 8x32 was carried over from the FL series.

    Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32 - oh my!

    I've narrowed my current search for a new pair of bins down to the Conquest 8x32 and the Kowa BD 8x42 (sort of apples and oranges, I know). Try as I might (and I've spent about four hours poring over different models), I couldn't see any difference in brightness between the two. I was told by...
