Tuesday, August 28, 2007New Leica spotting scope
I bought my first Leica spotting scope back in the year 2000. It was something of a miracle to me, both in the fact that I managed to find the money to buy it (I actually worked a second job to get the money for it) and also because it was such an incredible optic. It was an angled Leica Televid and an APO Televid at that. I was later forced to sell it, but, fortunately it went to a friend who, to this day, has given it all the loving care it deserves.
Naturally, then, when Leica announced a new version of the Leica Televid in the Televid 65 and Televid 85, I was more than a bit interested. Both models will offer the option of an HD (high definition version) and an APO version. In addition to the slightly larger objectives, the new Leica Televid spotting scopes will also support rubber armoring - a feature I always wish I had on my old Televid. To add even more interest, Leica has developed a new 25-50x aspheric zoom eyepiece, which Leica claims will be the first premium zoom to offer a wide filed of view, the only thing lacking on premium grade zooms these days. Will I report back when these new Leica Televid spotting scopes are available, later this fall? If a product has that little red ball on it, does it make Joanie drool? Oh, yeah. Comments: |
