Zeiss binoculars

This item appears on page 60 of the April 2009 issue.

A short time ago I decided to evaluate a range of upper- to middle-price compact binoculars best suited for travel. My final choice was the quality, ultraclear Zeiss Conquest Compact, 8x20 model.

Priced around $330, it is sold at select camera and sports stores and at www.zeiss.com. To compare prices from various sources, Google “Zeiss Conquest Compact binoculars.”
