I have Zeiss Conquest HD 10x42 binos that I love everything about except the very loose/light tension focus wheel. They are on the way back to Zeiss to see if they are normal or can be tightened up. Any suggestions to increase the tension if they come back the same?
 
I'll post what they are like when I get them back from Zeiss. I'm hopeful, but not expecting major improvement. Hope they prove me wrong.
 
I'm with ya 100%. I totally love my conquests except for the focus wheel tension. Pretty much get used to it but it's still not necessary...

Same here. Just bought a set of 15x Conquests and was very surprised at the light feel of the focus know. Almost gives them a “cheap” feeling.

I run 10x42s and have never noticed anything out of the ordinary? You will be in for a wait with zeiss service. I sent a scope in and got it back 8 months later! Forgot I even owned it by then!
 
Interesting responses. I actually like how light the focus wheel is, and how quickly it focuses. To me, the focus wheel feels very refined. To each their own I guess.
I use mine for hunting and find it annoying that every time I grab them, either from the harness or from under a coat, the focus is at full stop one direction or another.

Not good news! Glad I sent them in now. Have a few months before scouting for hunting season.
