“Smaller, lighter, sharper, brighter” Opticron HR ED fieldscopes are designed and manufactured to deliver exceptional optical performance combined with sublime handling and total reliability.
Aimed squarely at the serious user, the instruments are 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. The choice of body types, eyepieces and accessories for observation and telephotography are unmatched and combine to create one of the most versatile ranges of professional spottingscopes available on the market today.
Optically the HR ED deliver the highest resolution figures of any Opticron telescope as each model 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 'CA' 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 fieldscopes feature 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 spottingscopes are protected from the elements with a durable soft touch textured rubber armour.
Other features include a centrally positioned rubber armoured focusing wheel for optimum accessibility plus a retractable rubber covered lens hood (Sunshade) with integrated rubber objective lens cap.
HR ED fieldscopes are supplied with a comprehensive 30 year guarantee.
