Doug,
Seems to be a lot of votes for Genesis, is their resolution as good as Zeiss Conquest 8x32 HD?
Thanks in advance


I've bought an 8x33 Kowa Genesis from a great deal Doug often makes with campfire members. First, let me say my vision is only 20/25 and I'm aware everyone's eyes can prefer different binos, but mine have been preferring the Zeiss Conquest HD over a pair of Cabelas Euro Instinct (made by Meopta), and even over viewing through some of my friend's alpha binos.

Been playing around with them focusing on some distant pine trees etc. I'm finding compared to the Conquest HD, the view through Genesis is bright and the focus remains sharp through a deeper focal depth, which makes it seem more 3D. They are fun to look through, but I can't really detect more resolution than the Conquest HD (which my eyes really like), other than that the Genesis is preferable in all other ways. It will be with me during hunting season!
