Leica VARIO 25 - 50x WW ASPH. Eyepiece

"a uniquely superb variable wide-angle eyepiece"

Above: Leica 25 - 50x WW ASPH. Eyepiece, PN 41019 - an unprecedented accomplishment! (66,564 bytes).

The original Leica TELEVID 77 and Apo-TELEVID 77 were the finest field telescopes of their time, most often equipped with a fixed magnification lens these accepted one of the few zoom lenses that we found acceptable. The latest generation, replacing the TELEVID 77, was introduced with the Leica Apo-TELEVID 82 featuring the first zoom eyepiece that finally matches the high performance of the telescope.

The newly developed Leica VARIO 25x - 50x WW ASPH. is a uniquely superb variable wide-angle eyepiece providing tack sharp clarity across the entire subjective (apparent) angular field of view of more than 60 degrees. And across the entire span from 25 to 50 x range. Neutral color, high contrast images - the high transmission coatings assure glare free views where the color fidelity is true and intense and black appears "blacker than black" from dawn to dusk or even in the glare of bright sunlight.

Features include:

• Aspheric lens design perfected by Leica during the development of their world renowned camera lenses reduces distortion.

• Vary magnification to suit desired field of view

• Vary magnification to suit 'seeing condition': higher magnification in steadier environments, lower if turbulent

• Vary exit pupil diameter to suit lighting conditions: lower magnification for use in dusk or night time environments

• Smooth operation of zoom and focus in all conceivable environmental extremes.

• The ergonomic rubber clad focus control and rotating/retracting eye cup ensure comfort while observing - even for eyeglass wearers.

• Bayonet mount provides quick installation or removal of eyepiece.

• All Leica eyepieces are resistant to dust, and water-pressure-tight to a water depth of five meters.

• Provided in a padded pouch closure, this can be attached to the Ever Ready Case carrying strap for convenience.

• Leave the eyepiece plastic covers at home too since the case also incorporates quick on/off cover for the eyepiece.
