Introduced just six months ago, the ZEISS Conquest Apia 65 Angled Spotting Scope set a new benchmark in its class, combining compact dimensions, low weight, renowned ZEISS optical performance, and exceptional affordability.
VALYRA, exclusive long-term licensee for ZEISS Outdoor, can now announce the addition of the new ZEISS Conquest Apia 85 angled scope along with 2 additional straight models, plus eyepieces and accessories, all of which focus on the trend for lighter and smaller equipment.
Built for long days in the field, these products deliver effortless handling, exceptional image clarity thanks to ZEISS’s renowned optical performance and trusted durability for wildlife observers, outdoor enthusiasts and hunters. The straight models have been designed with even more convenience in mind, with a more minimalist tripod foot for optimised storage and space-saving.
"With the ZEISS Conquest Apia range, our aim was to make spotting scopes more accessible to the outdoor market", said Stefan Gerner, Product Manager for ZEISS Outdoor products by VALYRA. "There is a growing trend towards lighter, smaller equipment, with more and more people travelling to enjoy their hunting pursuits. Traditionally, spotting scopes can be bulky and cumbersome and can also come at a high cost. We wanted to break boundaries to develop spotting scopes with high-quality optics that are lightweight, easy to carry but also affordable".
"By adding 85mm and straight spotting scopes to our product line, we can meet every need. Our 65mm scopes, with their compact size and light weight, offer mobility and flexibility and are ideal for anyone who travels frequently or spends long days in the field, while the 85mm scopes provide even greater detail and better performance in low-light conditions".
