Zeiss Conquest Apia 24-60x85 Straight Spotting Scope

ZEISS Conquest Apia 24-60x85 Straight Spotting Scope

The ZEISS Conquest Apia 24-60x85 Straight Spotting Scope combines premium ZEISS HD optics with a powerful 85mm objective lens and a compact, lightweight 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 Straight 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 Straight 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.

Compact Design with an 85mm Objective Lens

Despite its large 85mm objective lens, the Conquest Apia 85 Straight maintains an impressively portable design, measuring just 365mm long and weighing approximately 1,758g.

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 straight-through viewing design makes it easy to acquire and follow subjects, while the streamlined tripod mounting system helps keep the scope compact when travelling.

Whether exploring nature reserves, observing distant wildlife or spending long days in the field, the Conquest Apia provides the benefits of a larger objective lens in a practical, portable package.

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.

For convenient tripod use, the straight model includes a removable Arca-Swiss compatible tripod adapter, allowing secure mounting on compatible tripod heads without compromising its compact design.
