Top-of-the-range imagingCompared to the previous models apochromatically corrected optics combined with the new FL lenses and an 82 mm diameter objective increase the light yield by more than 6 % and the imaging performance is clearly visible when viewing the finest natural details and structures in the highest possible resolution. For that little bit extra in terms of experiencing nature especially in poor lighting conditions.LEICA APO-TELEVID 82Top-of-the-range spotting scope delivering professional standards for all users. An innovative 4-part fluoride lens objective for maximum colour fidelity and richness of contrast. Optically neutral front lens glass to protect the APO optic and Leica AquaDuraTM coating. Particularly short close focus distance of 3.9 meters. Rubber-protected magnesium housing waterproofed up to 5 meters. Comes with the new variable wideangle eyepiece 25 - 50 x WW ASPH. The LEICA APO-TELEVID 82 is the perfect tool for experiencing nature at very close range. High-quality images can be captured with a camera using photo or digital adapters.Leica AquaDuraTM ensures greater visibility in wind and rainIt is a cold morning and the lens fogs up - that is not much fun. Fingerprints dust and rain are also annoying when viewing. The innovative Leica AquaDuraTM coating considerably reduces these disturbing factors. As with the lotus plant this new water and dirt-resistant protective layer on the outer glass surfaces ensures that dirt and moisture are barely able to take hold on the specially adapted surface structure of the optic. The benefit for you: reduced cleaning required - which leaves more time for viewing.

For nature and bird watchers who are particularly active during the day and prefer the smaller size and weight but do not want to make sacrifices when it comes to optical performance.For deep clear insights into nature.LEICA APO-TELEVID 65Top-class small compact spotting scope only 30 cm in length. With 4-part fluoride objective lens system for the best possible colour accuracy image definition and detail. The shortest close focus distance in its class (only 3.0 meters). As a straight or angled spotting scope with rubber-protected magnesium housing waterproofed up to 5 meters complete with new variable wide-angle eyepiece 25 - 50 x WW ASPH.The new generation of Televids is aimed at those who have high demands and will accompany you through thick and thin. The scope's body and eyepiece are nitrogen-filled - in - dependently of each other - waterproofed up to 5 meters. The automatic eyepiece lock on the new bayonet system ensures that all eyepieces are held firmly in place. The Leica dual-focus system is reinforced by an additional crosspiece. The full rubber protection of the robust magnesium housing which fits comfortably in your hand absorbs shocks effectively and guarantees silent viewing. On the APO models an optically neutral front lens glass additionally protects the sensitive optic from harsh weather conditions.

The ATS/STS 80 (HD) (High-Definition) observation telescopes set the highest standards among telescopes in this category. Even with the easy-to-handle fully-rubberized armoring the ATA/STS 80 (HD) are by far the lightest of the larger observation telescopes. Thanks to a recalculated optical system they offer precise observation of detail optimum edge-to-edge images and almost 100% color fidelity with an extremely wide field of view thereby achieving revolutionary image quality.Product AdvantagesOpticsNew easy-to-clean external coating for lenses makes it considerably easier to clean the objective and ocular lenses.

Product HighlightsFeatures:It's the big objective lens-indeed the eye" of the Kowa Prominar Spotting Scope that sets it apart from the competition. For birders and hunters alike these are the scopes that re-define clarity because-among their other impressive features-they boast large 88mm Pure Flourite Crystal objective lens crafted of fully C3 multi-coated optics. Ensuring maximum light gathering clear visual range and sharp images that traditional glass lenses can not attain in the field. C3 Coating is a highly reflective multi-coating of dielectrics. This allows for a much higher reflectivity than with coatings of silver or optically-enhanced aluminum offering a reflectance of 99% or higher across the entire visible spectrum. Not only does this provide bright and sharp images but accurate color reproduction is also achieved. The magnesium alloy body makes the scopes rugged compact easy to carry and handle making them an ideal companion in the great outdoors. The waterproof housing meets the rigorous standards of JIS Protection Class 7; they are also charged with dry nitrogen gas to prevent fogging.
