The compact and lightweight spotting scope for detailed bird watching.

• Premium Optics with HD Concept

The ZEISS Conquest Apia 65 is the ideal spotting scope for nature and bird watchers who want to combine lightness and compact design with outstanding optical performance when on the move. It is a reliable companion on long and mobile observation tours. Thanks to its HD optics concept, it delivers clear, high-contrast images across the entire field of view, and its 20–50x zoom range allows you to see both a wide overview and the finest details.

The high light transmission of 87% ensures reliable observations even in low light conditions. Ergonomic focus and zoom wheels make operation easy, while the robust housing with non-slip armouring protects the optics and the LotuTec® coating allows water and dirt to simply roll off.

Compact and Lightweight

Designed for those who are always on the move, the Conquest Apia's slim, lightweight body fits effortlessly into any pack. Whether you're glassing a hillside at dawn or scanning a wetland from the edge of a hide, this scope won't slow you down. Its compact proportions belie the full-sized optical performance within.

Premium Optics with HD Concept

ZEISS HD glass elements deliver exceptional colour fidelity and resolution across the full zoom range. Fluoride-type glass suppresses chromatic aberration so subjects appear with outstanding edge-to-edge sharpness and natural colour rendition — even in challenging low-light or high-contrast conditions.

ZEISS T* Anti-Reflection Coating

ZEISS T* multi-coating is applied to every air-to-glass surface, reducing reflections to an absolute minimum and maximising light transmission. The result is a bright, high-contrast image with exceptional colour neutrality — the hallmark of every ZEISS optic. In low light or against bright skies, the difference is immediately visible.

LotuTec® Hydrophobic Lens Coating

The outer lens surfaces are treated with ZEISS LotuTec® — a hydrophobic nano-coating inspired by the lotus flower's self-cleaning properties. Water, grease and dust bead off rather than smearing. In rain, fog or dewy conditions your view remains clear without constantly wiping the lens. LotuTec® keeps your optics performing flawlessly no matter what the weather throws at you.

Ergonomic Design

Every control on the Conquest Apia is where your hands naturally fall. The smooth dual-speed focus wheel allows quick rough focus followed by precise fine adjustment, while the large, textured zoom ring is easily operated with gloves on. The angled eyepiece option makes extended sessions effortless whether the scope is on a low tripod or a high window mount.

In addition, compatibility with the ZEISS Digiscoping Adapter allows you to take photos and videos with your smartphone for nature documentation and birdwatching.
