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:
- Leica APO-Televid 65 & 25-50x wide-angle eyepiece
- Leica APO-Televid 82 & 25-50x wide-angle eyepiece
- Leica Televid HD 65 & 20-60x zoom eyepiece
- Leica Televid HD 82 & 20-60x zoom eyepiece
But it’s best to compare for yourself and get one of the first examples right away!
