Review Summary
2012-04-20T21:00:00
I use the Leica APO 82mm spotting scope for hunting and taking pictures. It is as good as it gets for either. You can judge an animals tropy potential out to a mile with out difficulty. There is not a better spotting scope available. Clarity and brightness remain the same throughout power range. I have compared this scope with my Swarovski ST-80-20X/60 High Definition and other high end scopes and the Leica has them beat in all ways, they are not even close. If you are in need of a spotting scope, you can not go wrong with this unit. You will never need to upgrade, and from my previous experiance with other Leica products I am sure it will last a lifetime.

The new era of peak performance
For demanding nature observations in open landscapes or in the mountains, high-performance optics are indispensable. This is exactly where the Leica APO-Televid wins users over with outstanding image quality. The Leica APO-Televid 82 is the first choice for uncompromising imaging performance. Thanks to the large front lens, it boasts impressive brightness - even at dusk or in poor weather. The finest details are displayed clearly and with high contrast at high magnifications, ideal for birding, observing wildlife, and digiscoping. Whether in the early morning or in the late evening sun - no detail remains hidden with the Leica APO-Televid 82.
Equipped with apochromatic high-performance lenses, water- and dirt-repellent AquaDura coating, and the innovative Leica High Lux Pro (HLP) lens system, it delivers a brilliant optics solution with exceptional color neutrality, minimal color fringing, impressive brightness, and a particularly wide field of view. The ergonomic dual focus allows fast and precise focusing, while the compact, rubber-armored magnesium housing ensures optimum protection and comfortable handling.
Leica Sport Optics presents the powerful spotting scope system as a high-quality kit: the APO-Televid 82 in combination with the 25x-50x WW ASPH. eyepiece. This high-performance unit combines maximum light yield with impressive detail rendition - perfect for moments when nothing should remain hidden. The wide-angle eyepiece provides an extra-large field of view and enables fast target acquisition with high detail resolution.
Leica High Lux Pro System at a glance
Optimum optics system
The Leica APO-Televid 82 spotting scope boasts advanced, market-leading optics that combine proven apochromatic lenses with the state-of-the-art Leica High Lux Pro (HLP) lens system. Apochromatic lenses offer particularly sharp and true-to-life images because they correct chromatic aberration (optical imaging errors) over three wavelengths, and thus almost completely eliminate color fringing. This delivers outstanding color neutrality, maximum color-fringe suppression, especially when observing with backlighting, and the highest contrast values, particularly high image brightness and an extra-large field of view. Whether fine feather structures in birds or distant mountain peaks - superior color correction and excellent light transmission let you see nature as it really is: clearly, vividly, and with maximum precision.
Bright and powerful
The precise Schmidt prism system of the Leica APO-Televid 82 delivers razor-sharp, high-contrast, and color-neutral images - even in difficult light conditions. The large 82-mm objective lens offers an impressive light yield and enables brilliant observations down to the smallest detail, even at dusk or under overcast skies. Whether for demanding birding, open landscapes, or digiscoping: the APO-Televid 82 delivers maximum optical performance for all who want to see more and recognize even the tiniest details. Despite its size, it features balanced ergonomics and rugged design - ideal for anyone who values the highest image quality.
Built for the real world
Nature observations often take place under extreme conditions. In craggy mountains, for example, or in pouring rain. The rubber-armored magnesium housing of Leica APO-Televid spotting scopes combines extreme ruggedness with functional design. This makes the spotting scope shockproof and reliably waterproof - ideal for use in rain, snow, or even an accidental fall into water. At the same time, it ensures non-slip, noiseless handling - even when wet or with gloves. Furthermore, the internal optics are protected by an additional front lens glass with Leica AquaDura coating, which repels dust and water.
The dual focus system from Leica
Precise and ergonomic
The modern design of the Leica APO-Televid spotting scopes allows intuitive and absolutely smooth operation. With the innovative dual focus for coarse and fine adjustment, details can be focused much more easily, quickly, and precisely. With the coarse focus, you bring the subject into the frame within seconds, while the fine focus allows precise, razor-sharp adjustment. Whether at close range, starting at 3.9 meters, to the furthest distances - the dual focus enables particularly fast and precise focusing for all magnifications.
Well-designed in every detail
A new feature of the Leica APO-Televid is its integrated mounting base, which can no longer go missing, making your spotting scope easier and safer to use. It enables a seamless, wobble-free connection with the leading tripod platforms Manfrotto and ARCA-SWISS - without an additional adapter. This saves time, reduces weight, and increases stability for every observation. The spotting scope stays perfectly positioned - even at high magnification or in strong winds. For all who value maximum compatibility and reliable performance in the field.
Capture and share nature experiences
More and more nature enthusiasts want to capture special observation moments and share them with others. The Leica APO-Televid with its high-performance optics is ideal for sophisticated digiscoping. It achieves brilliant, natural color rendition across the entire field of view and delivers images of the highest quality. With perfectly matched components, Leica Sport Optics offers a digiscoping system that turns nature photography into an impressive experience. In combination with the versatile Leica accessories, the APO-Televid 82 becomes the core of a professional digiscoping setup - with a camera or with a smartphone.
