Zeiss 8x56 Conquest HD Binoculars (Black)
The 8x56 Conquest HD Binoculars from Zeiss are designed to provide optimal performance in all light and weather conditions. Their performance comes from a combination of extra-low dispersion (ED) glass, and fully multicoated lenses and prisms. The ED glass corrects for chromatic aberration across the entire field of view, ensuring true color transmission with little to no distortion. Taking full advantage of the large 56mm objectives, the lenses have Zeiss' T* anti-reflective coatings, which minimize light loss and maximize the amount of light getting through the optics. The prisms are phase-corrected to increase contrast. These optical coatings and glass produce a binocular that performs well, especially in low-light conditions, with bright high-contrast images and true color transmission across the entire 57-degree wide-angle field of view.
High Definition Lens System
The High Definition (HD) lens concept from Zeiss includes extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements that evenly transmit the visible spectrum and increase light transmission. Finishing the ED glass with T* multi-layer coatings enables the Conquest HD binocular to render up to 90-percent of available light.
Zeiss T* Multicoated Optics
Zeiss T* coating is a guarantee of the brilliant, high-contrast images which you will experience above all in adverse light conditions and in the twilight. Behind it, however, there is no specific formula for building up the layers. Instead, it is a technology that is constantly adjusted to suit new glass materials and requirements, which varies from lens to lens.
LotuTec Protective Coating
Objective and ocular lenses are coated with a LotuTec moisture/abrasion-resistant coating. This layer causes moisture, including snow and rain to bead up and roll off the lens surface. In addition to reducing lens occlusion, this coating helps prevent debris from sticking to lens surfaces and makes for easier removal of dirt and dust.
Optimized Operating Elements
Comfortable observation is not just a matter of lenses. The comfortable focus system with the large focusing wheel ensures easy handling, optimum grip and precise focusing even with gloves. The eyecups round off its ergonomic perfection. Slightly slanted, they are carefully aligned to aid observation comfort.
Compact and Robust Construction
Compact size, low weight and robust body construction guarantee readiness for use under all conditions. Comfortable observation is not just a matter of lenses. Ergonomics plays a major role too – and this is where the Conquest HD, with its compact size and lightweight, modern design, truly comes into its own.
