Leica APO-Televid 82 Spotting Scope Summary
The Leica APO-Televid 82 is a flagship model in Leica’s next-generation of 45º angled spotting scopes, which offers outstanding optical performance with minimal colour fringing, even at high magnifications. The scope is perfect for users such as wildlife observers, conservation professionals, and serious nature enthusiasts, and features an 82mm apochromatic objective with Leica’s High Lux Pro (HLP™) lens system to ensure exceptional brightness, contrast, and colour fidelity in all lighting conditions.
This premium spotting scope combines a rugged magnesium housing with a dual-focus mechanism for precise and responsive adjustment. Its ergonomic body is fully rubber-armoured for rugged protection in the field and is nitrogen-filled for complete water and fog resistance.
As part of Leica’s modular observation system, the APO-Televid 82 is compatible with a wide range of high-performance accessories. Two newly developed Vario eyepieces are available with the 25-50x WW ASPH. for a wide field of view and edge-to-edge sharpness, and the new 20-60x eyepiece for even greater magnification. Both are easily paired with Leica’s 1.8x extender for even more reach.
Leica has ensured that Digiscoping is fully integrated into the design of these next-generation Televid spotting scopes. A number of dedicated adapters and mounts supports everything from Leica’s own Q and SL cameras to smartphones using Ollin’s secure magnetic attachment system. When used in conjunction with the Leica FOTOS app, this scope becomes part of an integrated mobile imaging setup for capturing and sharing special wildlife moments and field observations.
