At the Global Birdfair, Leica the optics specialist from Wetzlar not only presented a new spotting scope. No, two new spotting scope series, each with two objective lens diameters, were presented.
The new APO-Televid 2025 is available with 65mm and 82mm objective lens diameters. Either individually or as a set with the popular 25-50x wide-angle zoom eyepiece. The most important new feature is the improved optics with apochromatic correction and High Lux Pro (HLP) system. Proven dual focus, magnesium housing with full rubber armouring and 5m waterproofness with Aqua-Dura coating.
This revised spotting scope model is complemented by the more affordable Televid HD. Leica combines this in a set with the new 20-60x zoom eyepiece. The sacrifice of maximum quality is of course reflected in the purchase price. Leica has also introduced a range of new accessories, such as a stay-on-case. A new tripod set, which was developed in collaboration with Leofoto, and new smartphone adapters.
These are the new sets:
But it’s best to compare for yourself and get one of the first examples right away!

The new Conquest HDX promises the following features:

We have already had the opportunity to examine the new 42s and are pleasantly surprised by the optical improvement in terms of sharpness and distortion across the entire field of view. We were also impressed by the lockable dioptre compensation and the weight saving of almost 10% compared to the previous model.
