XD lenses reduce colour aberrations

The eyepiece assembly contains a total of four XD lenses, arranged in two pairs. This design significantly reduces colour aberrations and improves image contrast, which is evident, for example, in the details and colour tones of birds’ plumage.

Sharp image from edge to edge

The Schmidt prism design enables a wide angle of view and a sharp image right to the edges with minimal light loss. The high-reflectivity roof prism, made from BaK4 and SK15 glass, reflects light almost perfectly, whilst Kowa’s C3 multi-layer coatings ensure accurate colour reproduction.

Wide-angle eyepieces and lockable dioptre adjustment

Wide-angle eyepieces offer an apparent field of view of 64 degrees. The dioptre adjustment lock keeps the selected setting in place during use.
