RE: Zeiss Conquest
As far as I know, Leupold doesn't make any glass. They outsource all of it. I believe most of it comes from Japan, but I think some of the glass for their lower end scopes comes from China possibly. I'd be interested to know where they're getting the glass for the newVX-7. They advertise that this new glass is lead free, somethingthe Conquests havehad since day one. So, could Leupold be using Euro (maybe even Zeiss) glass in these new scopes. I have no clue, it's just something to wonder about.
In response to Montana Dave, your friend's Conquestis an anomoly and should be sent back to Ziess's service center for repair. They'll fix it under warranty.

They build for high quanity, but use what they do best, quality control, to "grade", the lenses, and sell them as such. The highest quality get sold for high end scopes, and lowest quality for low end scopes.

Rifle scopes are only a drop in the bucket for most of these lens grinders.
