For an impressive nature experience
The fascination of nature grows with every new detail. With the high-performance Leica Spotting Scopes, users discover the wonders of the world every second.
The scopes offer a sharp, bright and crystal clear view of even the most distant subjects. The innovative APO-Televid series features apochromatically corrected systems and utilise the fluoride (FL) glasses’ special properties to ensure superior resolving power.
Fluoride Glasses
State-of-the-art optics for best colour and contrast
The FL glasses incorporated in Leica spotting scopes contain a lot of calcium fluoride. They ensure very low dispersion and better correction of aberrations – for an impressively natural viewing experience.
No matter where or in what weather you set up your spotting scope – the rubber-armoured, high-traction magnesium body is extremely rugged and robust. Thanks to the AquaDura® coating, water and dirt don’t stand a chance. The lense, too, is perfectly protected: The nitrogen filling reliably prevents internal fogging.
Focusing On Focus
Capture the finest details at any distance
With this innovative feature, zooming in on details becomes much smoother, faster and more precise. The Leica Dual Focus with micro-focusing capability allows capturing of the finest details in perfect sharpness.
You can look forward to images with excellent colour fidelity, impressive sharpness and maximum contrast. Thanks to the large front lense diameter, you can spot the smallest details of the fascinating wildlife at close focus even in poor light. In addition, users benefit from the low weight of the Leica spotting scopes as well as from their length of only 30cm, which is not only convenient on longer tours.
Variety Is Key
Two powerful spotting scopes for every situation
Every user has a favourite spotting position, and can now chose between the straight-shaped Leica APO-Televid 82 and the angled Leica APO-Televid 82 W.
No matter which spotting scope you choose – both impress by their compact construction, the innovative fluorid lense, comfortable handling and attractive design. Experience the clear and sharp image rendition across the entire field of view, even in unfavourable light conditions.
Leica Eyepiece
Superior field of view at all magnification settings
Brilliant And Sharp For All Purposes
Perfect viewing without limitations
With its zoom range from 25 up to 50 the 25-50x WW ASPH wide-angle eyepiece guarantees incomparable viewing quality in every situation. The integrated aspherical lenses ensure superior edge sharpness and brilliant images across the entire field of view. Together with the APO-Televid Spotting scope the Eyepiece 25-50x WW ASPH provides pictures rich in contrast and natural in colours.
User-optimised
Besides its fine image performance, the Leica Eyepiece incorporates many features for maximum robustness and protection. It can quickly and securely be attached to the spotting scope. The rubber-armoured functional components and practical rotation eyecups ensure excellent viewing comfort. In addition, the eyepiece is waterproof to a depth of 16.5ft./5 m and nitrogen filled to prevent internal fogging.
Longer range, more insight
Natures beauty, butterflies, birds and mammals are fast, so is the Leica Digiscoping Objective Lens (35mm). Simply put the digiscoping objective over the eyepiece of your spotting scope and start taking photos or videos. You never changed so fast between observation and taking a picture. Feel digiscoping with the same intensity you experience observing. Zoom and focusing are used from the telescope. Experience the combination of your camera with Leicas experience in optics, perfect balance between vivid and brilliant colors of maximum neutrality and contrasts for your pictures.
Get closer than ever before
When you don’t want to miss any of nature’s fascinating details, you need to get closer. That is why Leica has developed the Extender 1.8x for Leica APO-Televid spotting scopes (angled viewing). In combination with the Leica Eyepiece, it allows 45- up to 90-fold magnification. With this unprecedented expansion of the zoom range, wildlife, nature and astronomical observations as well as digiscoping become an even greater pleasure. An integrated, automatic lock on the bayonet connector allows quick and easy attachment of the extender between the spotting scope and eyepiece. Thus, the Leica APO Televid can then be adapted to all applications in no time and becomes even more versatile.
