Leica APO Televid 82 Angled Spotting Scope

Offering superb optical performance in a lightweight and easy-to-manage package, the APO Televid 82 Angled Spotting Scope from Leica delivers brilliant insights into nature that are rich in detail and contrast. Its high-performance optics and compact form-factor make it a natural choice for digiscoping as well as conventional viewing - there's a special camera adapter that allows the viewer to convert the Televid into a high-powered telephoto lens for long-range photographic applications.The optical system of the APO-Televid 82 combines apochromatic optics with fluoride glass and a substantial 82 mm objective to bring a significant increase in light-throughput to the viewing experience. From dawn till dusk, the APO-Televid reveals astounding intimate high-resolution views of flora, fauna, and vistas.This APO-Televid 82 features straight-through viewing that's favored for rapid subject location. The optional 25-50x WW aspherical eyepiece is highly recommended as a matching ocular for this scope - its wide FOV delivers a wrap-around viewing experience that pairs well with the refined optics of the Televid scope.Leica's legendary optical performance becomes quite apparent when viewing through the APO-Televid 82 - apochromatic color-accuracy, fluoride lenses for startling high-contrast imaging, full multicoating throughout the system, and the addition of Leica's proprietary AquaDura protective coatings all combine to produce scenic wonder without compromise.The die cast housing is constructed from a lightweight magnesium alloy for its remarkable strength, and rigidity. The exterior is covered in a non-reflective matte-black rubber armoring for a bit of shock/impact resiliency, and a positive tactile grip in all types of weather. The scope also features a rotating tripod collar that brings a not-so-subtle increase in versatility when positioning the APO-Televid 82 for digiscoping purposes.Note: Eyepiece not included.Optical PerformanceOptically neutral front lens protects the APO opticsWater and dust repellent hydrophobic AquaDura lens coatingsApochromatic fully multicoated color-corrected optical systemFluoride glass lenses for enhanced color fidelity and contrastConstruction DetailsRobust black rubber armored diecast magnesium housingSealed optical system is waterproof to a depth of 17.0'/5.0 mUse and HandlingObjective: 82 mmRotating tripod collar with detented click stopsDual focus system with microfocusing is precise and intuitiveRetractable lenshood with built-in peepsight for rapid subject location
