Exceptional Value and Performance for Premium Binoculars
January 16, 2012 – Carl Zeiss introduces the all new CONQUEST HD 8x42 and 10x42 binoculars. The advanced Carl Zeiss HD lens system provides exceptional value and performance. Colors are neutral and clear with extra-low chromatic dispersion while the ZEISS T* multi-coatings, dielectric mirror coatings, and LotuTec® protective coating ensure a bright (90% transmission), vivid, sharp image any time of the day, in any weather. These premium binoculars are compact, lightweight and feature an ergonomic, modern design and traditional German quality.
The CONQUEST HD’s extra-wide field of view is impressive.
