Who the Conquest HDX 10x42 suits
With 16.5 mm of eye relief it suits eyeglass wearers, and 400 mbar water resistance suits wet trips. The 4.2 mm calculated exit pupil gives a usable view as light fades.
Weight of 25.2 oz is above the 24.9 oz median, and the 6.6 ft close focus only equals the 6.6 ft median, so it gives no edge on nearby subjects.
