Zeiss Conquest HDX 15x56

CA looks really high in the Zeiss, and I am kind of surprised by that.

That’s how they all should be. I have asked every manufacturer for that exact thing for more than 10 years. The first thing I have asked every company that has come out with a reticle in a spotter or bino is why they filled the FOV up with it, and not put an “L” reticle in the lower left or right hand corner. The usual response is a blank stare.

The Vectronix VectorX have that reticle, but highest magnification is 12x42

Man, i had to part with a pair of the 10x42 zeiss conquest HD because the depth of focus was so shallow. That crap drives me nuts, i'm surprised so many people dont mind it and like those nockers.

Anyone have a comparison of any of these to the Maven B5?

Swapping out the reticle wouldn't be a difficult job assuming you had a suitable replacement ready to go. Ive seen one in a disassembled Fujinon 7 x 50 compass marine bino. The glass panel has very highly defined marks but slips in and out.

Maybe a gap in the market for someone

I would not be comfortable disassembling my optics. too much risk of outside dust entering

Would ruin the waranty.
Someone could make a sticker that is able to be visible looking through the binos that you could install

It needs to be internal as it has to sit within focal plane.

Difference were pretty stark, and would surprise most.

How do the Conquests and the Meostars compare?

How do the Conquests and the Meostars compare?

Of those, the Conquests were by far the worst. The Meostars were 3rd place for two of us, and 2nd place for one.
