The ZEISS Conquest Apia 65 was developed for hunters who don't want to compromise on weight and optical performance when out in the field. With its compact, lightweight design, it is the perfect companion for long tours and demanding hunting trips. Despite its handy design, the spotting scope delivers clear, high-contrast images across the entire field of view thanks to its HD optics concept. The 20–50x zoom range allows for both a wide overview and precise recognition of the finest details, while the high light transmission ensures reliable observations even in low light conditions. Ergonomic focus and zoom wheels guarantee fast and intuitive operation. A robust, weatherproof housing with a non-slip armouring protects the optics during outdoor use, while the LotuTec® coating allows water and dirt to simply roll off.

With matching accessories such as the included throw lever, the Arca-Swiss–compatible plate, and a separately available stay-on protective cover, the Conquest Apia 65 offers maximum flexibility and comfort. In addition, compatibility with the ZEISS Digiscoping Adapter allows you to take photos and videos with your smartphone.

ZEISS T* Coating

ZEISS T* coating guarantees brilliant, high-contrast images, especially in adverse light conditions and twilight. However, there is no specific formula for building up the layers; instead, it is a technology constantly adjusted to suit new glass materials and requirements, varying from lens to lens.
