Thanks to the water and dirt repellent AquaDura lens coating, moisture and dirt are barely able to take hold – which is exactly as it should be given this is a premium scope for which a premium outlay is being requested.įocusing with this scope is achieved via two ridged dials – or rollers – located just in front of where the angled eyepiece section of the scope is attached. The Leica APO-Televid 82 scope features rubber coated die-cast magnesium housing that is nitrogen-filled and waterproofed up to five metres, according to its manufacturer. The size and weight of the device is such that practical use necessitates mounting on a tripod at all times. The eyepiece supplied with our scope was a 25x to 50x variety, which we found provided plenty of ‘poke’ in bringing the faraway closer while providing a decent field of view with it.Īt the base of the unit a tripod thread is provided. There are two versions of this scope available - an angled viewing version (where the viewfinder attaches to the top at a 45° angle), or a straight version, where the eyepiece attaches to the rear. At the heart of the Leica APO-Televid 82 angled scope is a 82mm objective lens that gives it its name, which, when combined with fluoride coating, is claimed to increase light yield by 6%. What we’re getting here is a spotting scope body and a sophisticated eyepiece with zoom functionality. (Image credit: Gavin Stoker/Digital Camera World)
