Zeiss Conquest Apia 24-60x85 Angled Spotting Scope

ZEISS Conquest Apia 24-60x85 Angled Spotting Scope

The ZEISS Conquest Apia 24-60x85 Angled Spotting Scope combines premium ZEISS HD optics with a powerful 85mm objective lens and a practical angled viewing design. Built for birdwatching, wildlife observation and outdoor exploration, it delivers exceptional image clarity, impressive detail and excellent performance in challenging lighting conditions.

Featuring a versatile 24-60x magnification range, advanced optical coatings and a robust, weather-resistant construction, the Conquest Apia 85 Angled is designed for those who demand outstanding optical performance without the unnecessary bulk of traditional large-aperture spotting scopes.

Premium ZEISS HD Optics

At the heart of the Conquest Apia 85 is ZEISS HD optical technology, combining Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass, aspherical lens elements and FieldFlattener technology to deliver sharp, detailed images across the entire field of view.

The renowned ZEISS T multi-coating* helps maximise light transmission and image contrast, while phase-corrected roof prisms further enhance clarity and resolution.

With 84% light transmission, the Conquest Apia 85 Angled produces bright, natural-looking images, making it particularly effective for observing wildlife in woodland, overcast conditions and during the early morning or late evening.

The combination of high-quality glass and advanced optical design also helps minimise chromatic aberration, ensuring fine details and subtle colours remain clearly defined.

Powerful 24-60x Magnification

The 24-60x zoom eyepiece offers excellent flexibility, allowing you to switch between scanning wider landscapes and examining distant subjects in greater detail.

At 24x magnification, the 40-metre field of view at 1,000 metres makes locating birds and wildlife easier, while increasing magnification to 60x reveals fine details that may otherwise be difficult to distinguish.

The eyepiece features a wide 54-71° subjective viewing angle, providing an immersive viewing experience with reduced tunnel effect. Combined with 19mm eye relief, it offers comfortable observation during extended sessions, including for many spectacle wearers.

Comfortable Angled Viewing Design

The angled eyepiece design provides a comfortable viewing position, particularly when observing birds in trees, wildlife on elevated terrain or subjects positioned above the horizon.

Unlike a straight spotting scope, the angled configuration allows users to look down into the eyepiece rather than directly along the optical axis. This can help reduce neck strain during extended observation sessions and allows the tripod to be positioned at a more comfortable height.

The angled design is also particularly practical when sharing the scope between observers of different heights, making it an excellent option for birdwatching groups, nature reserves and family outings.

Compact Design with an 85mm Objective Lens

Despite its large 85mm objective lens, the Conquest Apia 85 Angled maintains a portable design, making it suitable for travelling, birdwatching and extended outdoor observation.

Its carefully balanced optical construction uses aspherical elements to reduce the overall length of the scope, while lightweight aluminium and magnesium components help minimise weight without compromising durability.

The combination of a large objective lens and a compact optical system provides excellent light-gathering capability without the excessive bulk often associated with high-magnification spotting scopes.

Fast, Precise Focusing & Comfortable Handling

The Conquest Apia features an ergonomically positioned focusing wheel, located ahead of the tripod mounting point for convenient access.

With just 1.2 turns from close focus to infinity, the focusing mechanism allows fast adjustments while retaining the precision needed for detailed observation.

Large, textured focusing and zoom controls provide a secure grip, even when wearing gloves. An included removable throw lever also makes zoom adjustments quicker and more comfortable.

An extendable sunshade helps reduce unwanted stray light, improving viewing comfort when observing in bright conditions.

Durable, Waterproof & Ready for the Outdoors

Designed for demanding outdoor environments, the ZEISS Conquest Apia features a waterproof, nitrogen-filled construction that helps prevent internal fogging when temperatures and weather conditions change.

The protective ZEISS LotuTec coating encourages water to bead and roll away from the outer lens surfaces while reducing the adhesion of dirt and fingerprints, making the optics easier to keep clean.

Protective rubber armouring provides additional durability and a secure grip, while the operating temperature range of -25°C to +50°C makes the scope suitable for a wide variety of outdoor conditions.
