The Leica APO-Televid 65 offers top-class observation in a body less that 12 inches long. Due to its compact size and light-weight it is the ideal choice of scope for those who need a portable option, but do not want to sacrifice performance. The magnesium bodies scope is rubber armoured for protection and is, water, fog and dustproof to protect it from the elements. The zoom eye-piece included is bayonet mounted and has a magnification of 25x to 50x. It also has a very wide angle viewing area, which gives the user a unusually wide field view of more than 60 degrees throughout the zoom range. Not only is the object you are viewing magnified, but also the surrounding area, meaning that your subject can be viewed in context. The eyepiece is also waterproofed and nitrogen filled to prevent fogging, matching the scopes performance in terms of resilience and reliability.
