The 8x56 Conquest HD Binoculars from ZEISS are designed to provide optimal performance in all light and weather conditions. Its performance comes from a combination of extra-low dispersion (ED) glass and fully multi-coated lenses and prisms. The ED glass corrects for chromatic aberration across the entire field of view, ensuring true color transmission with little to no distortion. Taking full advantage of the large 56mm objectives, the lenses have ZEISS' T* anti-reflective coatings, which minimize light loss and maximize the amount of light getting through the optics. The prisms are phase corrected to increase contrast. These optical coatings and glass produce a binocular that performs well, especially in low-light conditions, with bright high-contrast images and true color transmission across the entire 57° apparent angle of view.

Designed for rigorous use in the field, it is nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed for water and fogproof performance year-round in all weather conditions. The large center focus wheel is accessible with either hand and easy to use, even with gloves. Rubber armoring on the outside of the body provides a safe and secure non-slip grip in wet or cold conditions and offers protection against drops and impacts. The click-stop twist-up eyecups let you customize your eye relief whether you wear glasses or not. If you're going to be glassing for prolonged periods, the Conquest HD is tripod mountable with an optional adapter.

• 8x magnification
• Large 56mm objective lenses boost light-gathering ability for improved views in low light, produce a wide exit pupil to limit vignetting, and present a generous field of view
• Compact Abbe-Koenig roof prism design produces a less folded light path than conventional roof prisms to decrease spherical and chromatic aberration
• Fully multi-coated with ZEISS' T* anti-reflective coatings for more than 90% light transmission
• Extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements eliminate chromatic aberration across the entire field of view with little to no distortion
• Phase-corrected prisms produce high-contrast images with true color saturation
• LotuTec moisture/abrasion-resistant coating causes moisture, including snow and rain, to bead up and roll off the lens surface
• 57° apparent angle of view approaches wide angle to present the user with an immersive observational experience
• 375-foot field of view at 1000 yards

• Closed-bridge configuration provides a solid and steady platform for the internal focusing mechanism
• Large slip-resistant center focus wheel is easy to manipulate, even in cold and wet weather or while wearing gloves
• ±4 right-eye dioptric adjustment enables tack-sharp focus even for those who wear corrective eyewear
• 57-74mm interpupillary adjustment range
• Tripod mountable with optional adapter
• Click-stop twist-up eyecups for customized eye relief with or without eyewear
• Long 18mm eye relief improves viewing comfort and reduces eyestrain, especially during long glassing sessions
• Extremely wide 7 mm exit pupil ensures complete coverage as pupils fully open and dilate in low light to keep the entire scene in view

• Lightweight and durable aluminum-alloy chassis
• Nitrogen filled, waterproof to 200mbar of pressure and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme changes in temperature and environmental conditions
• Rubber-armored exterior provides impact protection and non-slip grip
