how about the conquest part--as if they didn't have enough problems!!!

Meopta are GOOD GLASS - BUT ARE NOT on a par with those mentioned SAVE maybe the ZEISS CONQUEST (which are made by Meopta). Personally I do not rate them as high as IOR either.

Well, since Meopta makes the glass for the Conquest, I think it stand to reason they are comparable, although I think Meostars are a little better than the Conquest.

Chris Farris had some observations back in March that might be worth noting.

I have seen that Meopta is increasing their advertising. They have run full page ads in Predator Extreme and Sports Afield lately.

We compared some time ago a conquest against a zeiss & a swaro, in poor light conditions, and the conquest was poorest than others. As I said before, some days ago we compared zeiss vs swaro vs meopta and all of them was similars, I would purchase a meopta if I need a new scope because of the price-quality ratio.

ILya...........I was led to believe by zeiss that the conquest scopes used shott lead and arsenic free glass made in company. Has this changed at some point, or was I told incorrectly?

Schott makes raw glass blanks for a bunch of companies and most European companies buy glass form Schott.  Meopta however, makes the lenses for the Conquest: grinding, polishing, coatings to Zeiss' specs, etc.
