I bought a pair of Zeiss Conquest binos in 2004 for about $450... they have been great glass...and frankly, I beat the hell out of them. This season something let loose inside and they were finished... I boxed them up and sent them to Zeiss... I wrote a nice letter explaining thing I'd loved them and used them probably 250 days a year for near 6 years and that I would be happy to pay for any repairs that needed done...
Today i got a box in the mail with a Brand New pair of them in it...free of charge!! Happy guy here. Yahoooo! and Thankyou Zeiss. For anyone wondering, I believe these Zeiss conquest, coupled with customer service like this, is one of the best values for good glass...
Merry Christmas All!
