Less lugging, more glassing: the ZEISS 20-50×65 Conquest Apia 65 Compact Spotting Scope measures less than a foot long, but uses premium optical elements and coatings for a bright, clear view all the way out to 50x. Its 15 lens elements included multiple aspheric lenses, extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements, and field-flattener technology for edge-to-edge sharpness. Zeiss T* full multicoating and phase correction on the roof prism help ensure maximal light transmission. The Apia 65 comes with an Arca-type foot for easy tripod mounting.
