Just heard about this. Anybody have any information? There is nothing on the Zeiss web site.

My local dealer got them in a few days ago. Nice looking sight. The 2-12x42 was $799. I didn't price the 3-15x42 and didn't ask about the 50mm model. Nice looking scope but the eye piece seemed larger in diameter than I'd like. The boxes were marked "Assembled in Germany".

Retailers can hardly give away a Conquest at $499. Interesting to see what this $799 price will do for the product.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

JG, agreed the price point hurts a bit. Then again, so does a VX-6! I'd give equal consideration to either; I've had very good luck with Conquests.
Anyone know the eye relief spec for the 2-10x42? If it works like a 3-9x40 Conquest (unlikely, but...) in terms of ER and EB and all that gack, well, I'm buying one!

I am curious what a conquest 2-10 scope will do that a conquest 3-9 or 3.5-10 won't. I see no benefit to having 2x on the low end instead of 3 or 3.5. The 3-15x42 could be interesting if it has a side focus and depending on specs and price

The 3-15x42 could be interesting if it has a side focus and depending on specs and price Marketing, the Conquest lineup is getting stale. To answer your question nothing. I have had/have the 3-9 and 3.5-10 and see no benefit of the 2.5 unless you factor in the HD lenses.

I'm surprised gr8fuldoug from Cameraland hasn't commented on this. If anyone should have the specs on these I'd think it would be him since they are a Zeiss dealer.

I will have a complete post with specs, prices and opinion on January 2nd.
Zeiss has informed dealers about these scopes. They have asked the courtesy of a Worldwide January 2nd release date. Although there are some dealers that have not shown Zeiss that respect, we prefer to abide by their request.
These scopes are a nice addition to the Zeiss line of optics and worth the next two days of waiting for detail on them.
For now that is all we will comment out of respect for Zeiss' request

Hopefully their accurate with their launch date. The intro of the HT stuff was, what......9 months ago and still nobody's seen one yet?

We have already received a complete shipment and are ready to ship once these scopes are announced. They really are on top of things. For the record, we also have all HT product in stock

Zeiss will have a booth at DSC and I'm positive they'll have the new Conquest HD5 and HT line on display. I'll be sure to drop by and take a peek.

I'm not nearly so dogmatic. I'd compare them and buy what I liked best. I've owned a lot of Leup's and certainly like the company. Ditto for Conquests. However...... gotta give the edge to Conquest for both mechanical reliability/predictability, and optics. I'll further split the RCH's here by saying I prefer Conquest-style constant eye relief to the Leupold retreating eye relief. But-- I'd certainly also love a VX6 (I think). From what you and other report they are pretty darn nice.

It is a no brainer especially at the price posted for the Conquest.
