A class of its own

Naturalists observe and photograph wildlife and birdlife from great distances. The Leica APO-Televid spotting scopes are aimed at ornithologists and naturalists with the highest demands, when for example they seek to precisely identify or photograph the nuances or structure of plumage.

With their improved apochromatic lenses featuring AquaDura® coating, they offer a fascinating dive into the wonders of our nature. The two objective diameter variants, APO-Televid 65 and APO-Televid 82, stand out with the best Leica optical system incorporating High Lux Pro (HLP™) lenses for unmatched color neutrality, maximum suppression of chromatic fringes, high brightness, and absolute contrast.

For visual experiences like no other. The modern lines of the APO-Televid spotting scopes and the precision of the Dualfokus dual knob for quick or fine adjustment for fast and simplified focus management are perfect prerequisites for fascinating moments in nature. The new mounting foot is integrated and cannot be lost. It is compatible with the main ARCA-SWISS and Manfrotto tripods.

Vario eyepiece 25-50x WW ASPH. - Perfect unlimited view

When it comes to a particularly wide field of view, the wide-angle Vario 25x-50x WW ASPH. eyepiece is the ideal choice for the Leica Televid spotting scope system. Thanks to the high-precision aspherical lenses, it delivers top-level performance in terms of definition and image quality across the entire zoom range – without compromising sharpness or contrast. These lenses effectively correct optical errors that can affect the image, such as spherical aberrations and distortions, ensuring uniform sharpness and excellent contrast even at the edges of the image. Even at 50x magnification, the wide-angle eyepiece connected to the Leica Televid generates a field of view of up to 74°, combining remarkable overall vision with absolute detail precision – ideal for rapid subject acquisition in motion, as is the case during bird observations.

The best optical system

The Leica APO-Televid 82 spotting scope features market-leading optics that have been further improved and now combines proven apochromatic lenses with an ultra-modern Leica High Lux Pro (HLP™) lens system. The apochromatic lenses ensure particularly sharp images with color neutrality, as they eliminate chromatic aberrations (optical representation errors) by correcting them at three wavelengths, thus eliminating almost all chromatic fringes. This results in remarkable color neutrality, maximum suppression of chromatic fringes especially in backlight, absolute contrast values, particularly high image brightness, and an extra-wide field of view. Whether it’s the delicate structures of a bird’s plumage or distant peaks – thanks to the absolutely remarkable chromatic correction and excellent light transmission, you see nature as it truly is: clear, vibrant, and with ultimate precision.

Bright and high-performing

The precision of the Schmidt prism system equipped in the Leica APO-Televid 82 ensures perfectly sharp, contrasted images with absolute color neutrality – even when lighting conditions are unfavorable. The generous 82 mm objective diameter impressively utilizes light and ensures brilliant observations in the finest details, even at twilight or in overcast weather. Ornithological observation, vast expanses, or digiscoping: the APO-Televid 82 offers maximum optical performance for those who wish to go further in their observations and identify the slightest detail. Despite its size, it stands out with perfectly balanced ergonomics and a robust design – ideal for those who value absolute image quality.

Designed for the field

Naturalist observations are often conducted in extreme conditions. In the mineral environment of mountains or under torrential rain. The rubberized magnesium chassis of the Leica APO-Televid 82 combines extreme robustness with functional design. The robust construction allows the spotting scope to withstand shocks while ensuring it is waterproof – ideal for use in rain, snow, or even accidental immersion in water. Furthermore, it also ensures secure and silent handling – even in the rain or with gloves. Additionally, the internal optics are protected by an extra front lens featuring Leica AquaDura® coating, limiting dust and water deposits.

Leica's dual focus system

The innovative Dualfokus knob allows for quick or fine focus adjustment, achieving a sharp image in no time: the front knob ensures fine focus, while the larger rear knob ensures quick focus. It doesn’t matter whether the subject is close up to 2.9 meters or far away, the Leica Dualfokus knob ensures absolutely detail-rich observation and wildlife photography with perfect definition and remarkable sharpness.

.

Thought out to the last detail

A new feature of the Leica APO-Televid 82 is the integrated mounting foot that can no longer be lost, making the use of the spotting scope simpler and safer. It guarantees a firm and precise connection with the heads of the main Manfrotto and ARCA-SWISS tripods – without any adapter. A true time, weight, and stability saver for every observation. The spotting scope is thus always securely attached – even at high magnifications or in windy conditions. For all those who value maximum compatibility and reliable performance in the field.

Capture and share nature experiences

An increasing number of nature enthusiasts wish to capture and share special moments experienced in nature with others. The Leica APO-Televid 82, equipped with ultra-high-performance optics, is perfectly designed for digiscoping. It impresses with its bright and natural color rendering across the entire field of view and produces images of absolute quality. Composed of perfectly matched elements, the Leica Sport Optics digiscoping system transforms nature photography into an impressive experience. Combined with the particularly rich range of Leica accessories, the APO-Televid 82 positions itself at the center of a professional digiscoping setup – whether with a camera or a smartphone.
