Designed and manufactured to deliver unbeatable optical performance and reliability, the High Resolution series represents the definitive choice for anyone serious about Fieldscopes. Built to withstand extremes in temperature, to operate unaffected by rain or humidity the models can be used almost anywhere from the Sahara to Antarctica. The selection of body types, eyepieces and accessories are the result of understanding the needs of the professional, and as such are unparalleled in providing exactly what you want - when you need it.

All models feature a high definition 5 element objective lens system, BK 7 prisms and a unique Opticron N-type multi-coating. This combination maximises colour contrast, clarity and definition especially at higher magnifications under a range of different light conditions.

For even greater magnification, a 2.5x Tele-Adapter option is available for HDF/HR eyepieces. See: UTA. HR 66 GA and HR 80 GA models are fully nitrogen gas filled waterproof and are also protected with a durable natural rubber armour.

Other features include: retractable rubber covered lens hood, rotating tripod sleeve on all 45 degree angled models, easy-to-use rubber covered focusing wheel, sighting bar and the assurance of a comprehensive 30 year guarantee.

HR 80 GA
With outstanding low light performance, the HR 80 comfortably maintains superb colour contrast even in the poorest field conditions.

The long focal objective lens provides the unique opportunity of using long eyerelief, high power, wide angle HDF T 27xWW, 38xWW & 52xWW eyepieces for superb long range viewing, plus the option of HR2 27-80x and HDF T 24-72x zoom eyepieces.

HR 66 GA
Receiving the highest praise from independent surveys and industry alike, the HR 66 is firmly established as the preferred choice among fieldscope users everywhere. When used with the HDF T 20xWW, 28xWW and 38xWW 'flat field' eyepieces, image quality is both outstanding and very comfortable - essential when viewing for long periods.

Attention to detail in features such as natural rubber armouring, wide-knob focusing, rotating tripod sleeve & retractable lens hood, make the HR 66 the standard that other quality fieldscopes are judged against.

Eyepieces
A wide range of eyepieces are available for use with High Resolution Fieldscopes. Choosing the best eyepiece is often confusing but making the right choice will depend on price and application. It is important to remember that the eyepiece is an integral part of the whole set-up and opting for a lower quality lens will make a difference to the overall image quality derived from the fieldscope.

SDL v2 Eyepiece CLICK FOR IMAGE
5-group 8-element ‘super’ zoom, the SDLv2 eyepiece maximises the performance gains inherent in Opticron ED objective lens fieldscopes at higher powers while maintaining superior cross-field definition coupled with exceptional viewing comfort. Model features twist-type retractable eyecup. Supplied in soft case. 10 year guarantee.
