With Zeiss premium T* coatings, edge-to-edge image sharpness, and an impressive light transmission of 87 percent, the new Zeiss Conquest Apia 65 delivers bright, high‑contrast images, even under difficult lighting conditions. The zoom magnification range of 20x-to-50x ensures both a wide field of view for observations and an ideal zoom range for precise bird identification that makes this new 65mm spotting scope extremely versatile – plus it is the most compact spotting scope in its class.
"The new Zeiss Conquest Apia 65 is for every birder who wants to observe comfortably and flexibly over longer periods of time, who needs optical precision in the details and fast orientation in the landscape, while relying on lightweight equipment." according to Stefan Gerner, Category Manager for Zeiss Birding.
Zeiss places an emphasis on ergonomics too: The focus and zoom mechanisms operate quickly, precisely, and smoothly. The positioning of the focus wheel in front of the tripod foot ensures intuitive handling and balanced weight distribution for relaxed, stable observations, even when used over longer periods.

The detachable throw lever provides one-handed zoom and focus adjustments, and this new spotting scope has an easy direct-to-tripod mount that is Arca-Swiss compatible. The optional ever-ready case provides quality protection that is especially convenient when transporting the spotting scope; and the optional Zeiss Digiscoping Smartphone Adapter allows you to take photos and videos of the birds you see.
