ES 80 GA SD 45º Fieldscope

Opticron ES 80 GA SD 45º Fieldscope
Nitrogen Waterproof

New for 2009 and featuring an upgraded optical system to reduce internal reflections, increase colour contrast and apparent resolution, the ES v3 fieldscopes deliver ‘best in class’ optical performance and reliability combined with an unbeatable choice of eyepieces and accessories

The suffix SD for standard belies the quality of this tri-element F500 viewing platform. Utilising Opticron F-type high refractive index multi-coating complete with BK 7 prisms the ES 80 GA SD/45° demands serious consideration for anybody interested in an 80mm fieldscope.
Image texture is slightly softer than sister ED model but the instrument deals competently with a range of interspersed colours in varying light conditions up to 60x magnification, combined with accurate focusing and a welcome lack of colour distortion.

Nitrogen Waterproof

New for 2009 and featuring an upgraded optical system to reduce internal reflections, increase colour contrast and apparent resolution, the ES v3 fieldscopes deliver ‘best in class’ optical performance and reliability combined with an unbeatable choice of eyepieces and accessories

The ES 80 GA ED/45° advances the tradition of quality and value begun with the MKI ED with a new multi-coating system integrated into an all-new magnesium polycarbonate and aluminium body. Now 100% nitrogen waterproof, the fully rubber armoured body houses a high-grade ED (extra low dispersion glass) element within the objective lens system that virtually eliminates the distorting effects of chromatic aberration at magnifications over 35x. As a result, images are vibrant and 'true to life' and what's more - reproduced consistently across the magnification range.

New for 2009 and featuring an upgraded optical system to reduce internal reflections, increase colour contrast and apparent resolution, the ES v3 fieldscopes deliver ‘best in class’ optical performance and reliability combined with an unbeatable choice of eyepieces and accessories

The advantages of a 100mm diameter objective lens become clear when viewing at magnifications over 50x. Having a surface area 1.5x that of an 80mm OG fieldscope, the ES 100 is easily able to out perform similarly specified 80mm (ED and Fluorite models) delivering brighter images with a higher resolving power. For terrestrial use, better definition and higher colour contrast mean more accurate and more enjoyable long range viewing.

Opticron GS FIELDSCOPES
Nitrogen Waterproof

The GS series takes the two size model range concept a stage further by increasing the 65mm OG model to a 66.5mm OG model and the 80mm OG model to an 81.5mm OG model without any noticeable gain in size or weight. As a direct result, the GS 815 gains 4% surface area over a standard 80mm OG and GS 665 5% over a 65mm OG. The increase in the amount of light entering the instruments coupled with an all new optical configuration, new prism units and a new multi-coating applied throughout has resulted in a new level of optical clarity in this price segment. Images are extremely bright whilst retaining excellent colour saturation so important for accurate identification.

ED Versions afford even greater light transmission and sharper images over 35x (when compared to standard model) plus higher colour fidelity especially noticeable in extreme light conditions. A natural choice for those wanting to experience the 40935 SDL eyepiece, the GS 665 & 815 GA ED will perform against the very best.

GS 52 GA ED Travelscopes

Introduced in response to the ever increasing demand for quality travelscopes, the GS 52 GA ED sets new standards for light transmission, resolution and colour contrast offering a practical alternative to larger heavier telescopes in situations where size and weight are an issue.

For garden birdwatching and photography, close focus has been set at just 2.5m.Fully rubber armoured and nitrogen gas filled for protection against the elements, the models are fitted with a lightweight magnesium tripod sleeve offering -/+ 90° each-way rotation for easier positioning when viewing from the confines of a hide or vehicle.
