This spherical excellently corrected 2-element FPL-53 SD APO binocular offers extremely high contrast. As supplied a pair of 18mm UFF eyepieces are included. The focal position was chosen so that Tele Vue Delos, Nagler, panoptic, and the Docter 12.5 mm UWA eyepiece can be focused.
Sliding dew shields with front cover plate, a carrying handle with sighting device, a photo tripod adapter with 3/8" thread connection, and 2pc 18mm UFF eyepieces offering 26x magnification are included. For other magnifications, please click here to see our range of UFF (Ultra Flat Field) eyepieces that are specially optimised for low focal ratio optical systems such as these binoculars.
The APM 82mm Binocular is a perfect combination of light weight and good light gathering ability. It is certainly compact enough to be carried for terrestrial observing activities such as bird watching. Its performance is exceptional and it is very much the little brother of the incredible APM 120mm Super ED Binocular.
To keep the weight to a minimum, the binoculars housing is made of magnesium. They are now also Nitrogen filled to remove the possibility of fogging in low temperatures.
These 82mm binoculars are bench aligned to 100x magnification before supply to ensure the best performance with a range of eyepieces.
