Leica APO Televid 65 Straight (Body Only)
Leica APO Televid 65mm Straight Spotting Scope (Body Only)
The straight view configuration APO Televid 65mm Spotting Scope from Leica combines premium optical elements with a weather sealed housing and a proprietary micro-focusing system. Four fully multicoated apochromatic lens elements and a Schmidt prism system form the core of this optical instrument. Leica's fluoride apochromatic glass is engineered to transmit luminous images that are geometrically flat from center to edge and color-faithful across the entire visible spectrum. When paired with Leica's 25-50x wide angle aspherical zoom eyepiece (separate purchase required), the APO Televid renders high contrast images that are rich with detail. A magnesium-alloy chassis makes the structure of the APO Televid as rigid and durable as aluminum chassis-designs in the same class but significantly less heavy than those models. To deliver weatherproof performance, the optical channel is nitrogen filled and o-ring sealed, maintaining its watertight seal to a depth of five meters. The AquaDura-coated hydrophobic objective lens surface resists moisture accumulation by causing rain and condensation to bead up and roll off the lens surface. The rubber armored body is shock-absorbent and slip-resistant, providing an additional layer of protection against the unexpected. Leica's proprietary internal dual-focusing system enables the operator to control the focus of their scope with coarse or fine movements, ideal for digiscoping and nature observation. The integrated rotating tripod collar, quick-change bayonet eyepiece mount, and sliding lens hood make the APO Televid a full-featured spotting scope for a wide range of recreational and professional glassing applications.
