Every hunt demands focus, preparation and equipment that earns its place in your pack. The ZEISS Conquest Apia range combine powerful yet lightweight optics with a rugged, field-ready design, giving hunters the detail and confidence they need when every observation matters.

Available in 85mm and 65mm models, with both straight and angled versions, ZEISS now offer the perfect spotting scope whatever your requirements.

Built for long-range viewing

Built for demanding long-range viewing, the large 85mm objective lens gathers more light to produce bright, detailed images in challenging conditions. Whether you’re observing distant ridgelines at first light or assessing game as daylight fades, the Apia 85 helps reveal crucial detail when visibility is less than perfect.

Its versatile 24–60x zoom lets you scan the landscape before moving in for a closer look. At higher magnifications, increased resolving power helps you identify and assess distant game with greater confidence.

ZEISS HD optics and coatings

Optical performance is underpinned by the ZEISS HD concept, combining ED glass and aspherical lenses for true-to-life colours and fine detail reproduction. ZEISS FieldFlattener technology provides sharpness across the field of view, while ZEISS T* coatings and up to 86% light transmission support bright, high-contrast viewing.

Straight or angled?

For hunters, the straight 65S and 85S offer another practical advantage: fast, intuitive alignment with your target. It is particularly useful when you need to get onto distant game quickly and maintain direct visual orientation.

Handling, build and digiscoping

Handling is equally considered. Large focus and zoom wheels are positioned for intuitive operation, while the removable throw lever for the angled versions allow fast magnification changes. A rugged rubber-armoured magnesium and aluminium housing provides a secure grip and dependable protection, with waterproof, nitrogen-filled construction ready for difficult weather. LotuTec® coating helps repel water and dirt from the external lenses.

An Arca-Swiss-compatible tripod adaptor makes stable observation straightforward, while compatibility with the separately available ZEISS magnetic digiscoping adaptor lets you capture photos and video through your smartphone.

For hunters seeking a lightweight, compact and affordable scope, with excellent low-light capability and outstanding detail at distance, the ZEISS Conquest Apia range delivers the optical performance to observe carefully and make confident decisions.
