Conquest HD 10x42
I had picked up a pair of the Zeiss Conquest HD 10x42 binoculars a while ago. They are full size and not particularly light weight, but they are clear and bright. These are good quality binoculars and I like them.
I still like the Swarovski binoculars better but these are a whole lot less expensive (half the price or so). I have formed the opinion that the Conquest line is a bit overpriced due to the nice little Zeiss label, but they are still good products. To me they compare fairly well with the Meopta and the top-of-the-line Vortex binoculars. I think I like the Meoptas the best of that group but the Conquest is a tiny bit lighter and would be my second pick. If I find the right pair of 8x Conquest binoculars on sale I will probably pick them up for my wife. Anyone looking for a nice pair of binoculars would not go wrong with the Conquest if they are in the budget. Disclaimer: I am an ordinary guy - not an optics "expert". |
Ive been very happy with my Vortex Razor HD 8X binoc.

Meopta also has some very decent offerings.

Yes they do. I really like the Meopta but I do not think you could go wrong with any of the offerings from major manufacturers in that price range. The only problem is the price range itself.
I do not know if they make them anymore but I have a pair of Leupold McKinley 10X glasses that only ran about $600 that are (to my eyes) the equal of anything I have seen for twice that price. When I bought the Zeiss Conquests I was really looking for another pair of McKinley in 8X but eventually decided to try the Conquests. |
I have been looking for a while now. I know they are expensive but I think I am going with the Swarovski EL 10x42s. I just need to find the best price on them now.

You can never go wrong with Swarovski. Great choice. |
I have a pair of slc 10x50 that I've owned for about twenty years now . they get used, and I have never been displeased with them. have had to replace eye cups twice now , which swarovski sent me , no charge and quickly both times. their customer service is excellent and they have earned my loyalty. I will never again buy another brand. I know they are expensive but they will last.
