Offering superb optical performance in a lightweight and easy-to-manage package, the APO-Televid 82 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.
