Questions & Answers

FAQ

What is the benefit of the Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass in the 15-45x65 Ares Series ED Spotting Scope?

ED glass minimizes chromatic aberration, which results in clearer, sharper images with superior contrast and resolution. This means the images you view through the scope will be vibrant, detailed, and free of color fringing.

What does the Advanced Fully Multi-Coated (AFMC) optics feature do?

AFMC optics enhance light transmission across the entire visible spectrum. This results in brighter, true-to-life colors, even in low-light conditions, providing you with a superior viewing experience.

What does the Argon purging process do for the 15-45x65 Ares Series ED Spotting Scope?

Argon purging uses inert gas with larger molecules to eliminate any internal moisture in the scope. This enhances the scope's waterproofing and ensures thermal stability, making it fog-proof even in humid or wet conditions.

What is the purpose of the Rotating Ring feature on the 15-45x65 Ares Series ED Spotting Scope?

The Rotating Ring allows you to pivot the scope around the tripod supporting ring to find the most comfortable and convenient angle for observation. This makes extended periods of use more comfortable.

What kind of outdoor activities is the 15-45x65 Ares Series ED Spotting Scope suitable for?

With its high zoom power and exceptional optical quality, the Ares Series spotting scope is perfect for a variety of outdoor activities, including birdwatching, wildlife spotting, hunting, and more.
