Innovative lens coating

Enjoy fascinating image quality, whatever the weather. Water simply rolls off the LotuTec® coating of the lens immediately, and any dirt can be gently removed without a trace.

Precision at close quarters

Every CONQUST HD model offers precise, and unusually close focus: x42s to 6.5 feet, and x32s to under 5 feet. Whether you are watching birds, insects or butterflies at close quarters, with the CONQUEST HD you will be able to see the finest detail in clear, natural, vivid color.

Optimal ergonomics

Comfortable observation is not just a matter of lenses. Ergonomics plays a major role, too – and this is where the modern design of the CONQUEST HD comes into its own. The comfortable focus system with the large focussing wheel ensures easy handling, optimum grip and precise focussing even wearing gloves. The eyecups round off its ergonomic perfection. Slightly slanted, they are carefully aligned to aid observational comfort.

Robust and precise

The CONQUEST HD is both lightweight and extremely robust. With any of our four models you can be well prepared for any adverse conditions when observing nature. The housing is made of high-quality aluminium. The inner workings are therefore perfectly protected, ensuring the long-term precision of the HD lens system. The CONQUEST HD - always a reliable companion, ready for any tough use.
