Smaller, lighter, brighter, sharper, the Opticron HR 66 GA ED /45 + SDLv2 18-54x Spotting Scope Kit is designed and manufactured to deliver exceptional optical performance combined with sublime handling and total reliability. Aimed squarely at the serious user, HR ED fieldscope is built to withstand extremes in temperature, to operate unaffected by rain, cold or humidity and be used anywhere from the equatorial rainforests to the poles.
Optically, it contains a high definition 5 element apochromat objective lens with 2 individual ED elements. As well as maximizing image sharpness, this second element delivers significant reductions in chromatic aberration at higher magnification settings compared to single element designs. To optimize light transmission and color contrast across the magnification range, Opticron N-type extra wide band multi-coating is applied to all air/glass surfaces throughout each instrument. Mechanically, HR ED fieldscope features a lightweight magnesium alloy body fitted with a large footprint tripod adapter that offers +/- 90 degree rotation around the central axis of the scope. Fully nitrogen gas filled waterproof and hermetically sealed against penetration from dust and moisture, the spotting scope is protected from the elements with a durable soft touch textured rubber armor.
Other features include a centrally positioned rubber armored focusing wheel for optimum accessibility plus a retractable rubber covered lens hood (sunshade) with integrated rubber objective lens cap.
5-group 8-element 'super' zoom, the SDLv2 eyepiece maximizes the performance gains inherent in Opticron ED objective lens field scopes at higher powers while maintaining superior cross-field definition coupled with exceptional viewing comfort. Mechanically the eyepiece is waterproof and features a rotating eyecup that can be positioned to match individual needs. Model supplied in soft padded case.
