-Nathan (Technical Advisor)
The Leica APO-Televid 82 Angled Spotting Scope Kit with 25x–50x WW ASPH Eyepiece sets a new benchmark in optical performance for demanding nature observation and digiscoping. Combining Leica’s advanced apochromatic lens system with the cutting-edge High Lux Pro (HLP™) lens coating, it delivers images of exceptional sharpness, true-to-life colour, and outstanding contrast, even in challenging light or backlit conditions. With near-total suppression of chromatic aberration, the APO-Televid 82 offers maximum colour neutrality and detail fidelity, perfect for capturing the finest textures in feathers or the subtle contours of distant landscapes.
The large 82 mm objective lens ensures superior light transmission, making the scope especially effective at dawn, dusk, or under overcast skies. Paired with the 25x–50x wide-angle ASPH. eyepiece, it provides a broad, immersive field of view without compromising sharpness across the zoom range. The Schmidt prism system ensures images remain bright, crisp, and distortion-free, while the dual focus mechanism, featuring both coarse and fine adjustment, enables quick and precise focusing from just 3.8 metres to infinity.
Constructed for real-world conditions, the APO-Televid 82 features a robust, waterproof magnesium body with rubber armouring for shock protection and a secure, quiet grip. Its internals are safeguarded by Leica’s AquaDura® coating, which repels water, dust, and dirt, ensuring consistent clarity in rain, snow, or rugged terrain. The integrated mounting base offers a secure, wobble-free connection with Manfrotto and ARCA-SWISS tripods, eliminating the need for an adapter and enhancing stability during high-magnification viewing or photography.
Despite its large lens, the APO-Televid 82 maintains excellent ergonomic balance and intuitive handling. It’s ideally suited for high-level digiscoping, with optics capable of capturing richly detailed, colour-accurate images using either a camera or smartphone. For naturalists, birders, and outdoor photographers who demand the finest visual performance, this Leica kit represents uncompromising quality in a precision-engineered package.
