ZEISS Conquest HD 10 x 42 Binocular, Black

Gave these as a present to a budding birder. The image was both bright and crisp. Easy to handle and comfortable to use over a long period in the field. Threading of the strap was a bit of a challenge but was managed eventually. The explanatory diagrams could be better. Highly recommended mid-price binoculars.

I have owned many different Leica, Zeiss and Swarovski binoculars over the past forty years. I was considering purchasing the Zeiss Victory model but was lucky enough to try a pair of conquest 10x42 at a local optical warehouse.The quality of these glasses completely blew me away. They are certainly as clear and sharp as my 7x42 Swarovski SLC and certainly as good, if not better than my Leica Trinovid. The twilight factor is superb so viewing in low light is fantastic, and this combined with a wide field of view makes for fatigue free viewing over long periods.A superb purchase and great customer service as always from Amazon. These binoculars are a great buy and worth the money paid for them. You will not be disappointed.

Replaced a pair of cheaper binoculars I'd had for about 15 years. Excellent viewing but the eyepieces are a little stiff. I'll reserve judgement for a few months.

While considering buying binoculars, I was happy to pay whatever it took for good optics. I wanted a pair that were light enough to be comfortable to carry but gave a lot of detail.The Zeiss Conquest are an exceptional pair of binoculars that totally out perform their price tag.

I wanted a new pair of binoculars to replace my ageing Pentax pair. My Pentax ones were 25 years old and were a huge improvement when I bought them on my previous pair.These Zeiss Conquest 10 x 42 are fantastically sharp over the whole field of view. The focus wheel is very smooth and the whole package seems very solid. The field of view is great. I have tried them looking at the night sky and was amazed how many more stars I can see when compared with my Pentax binoculars. So the brightness must be good.They are compact. Only downside in my opinion is the weight.The Zeiss warranty seems very good.If these are mid-range I find it hard to believe that the top range can be much better!

Yes a little on the expensive side, but I believe you get what you pay for with optical equipement.These are very very good. Well made, sturdy and comfortable in use.

Great binoculars not had much chance to use as yet. Fantastic service from seller

Very good
