Features Highlights

THE OPTICS

Just find the best place for hunting or nature observation and marvel at the view through the high-quality Apex Zoom spotting scope. Deer, birds and the beauties of nature appear before your eyes in brilliant, bright images full of sharp detail. In addition, the optics were provided with ALPEN's exclusive UBX multi-layer coating for increased light transmission. Perfect for accurate observations in twilight and poor light conditions. The prisms are also impressive: They were made of excellent BaK-4 glass.

STABLE, WEATHERPROOF AND USER-FRIENDLY

The Apex 20-60x80 ED Spotting Scope gives a good picture in any weather. So neither rain nor fog can cloud your view through the quality optics. Because the robust, waterproof housing guarantees that no liquid gets inside. Even with strong temperature fluctuations, the prospects remain good because the nitrogen filling prevents the lenses from fogging up on the inside. And if the sun is affecting your vision, simply slide out the lens hood. The zoom spotting scope offers optimal observation comfort thanks to the zoom eyepiece with 45° view and the tripod connection thread.

SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE WHO WEAR GLASSES

Can you see blurry without glasses? Then just keep it open when you look into the distance through the Apex 20-60x80 ED spotting scope. You simply leave the twist-up eyecup screwed in - and the distance between the eyes and the eyepiece lenses is perfect. The LE eyepiece with a raised eyepoint ensures that you can see the entire field of view even with glasses.

Extended Details on the Features

	CRYSTAL CLEAR PREMIUM QUALITY Unlike the standard BK-7, the optics offer you even sharper and brighter images thanks to the BaK-4 optical glass material (barium crown glass).
	EVERYTHING IN VIEW WITH MORE LIGHT This optic inspires with its high-quality full multi-layer coating. It increases the light transmittance of the coating to up to 95%. Look forward to fascinating moments in bright images.
	WEATHERPROOF FORESIGHT Even if the temperatures fluctuate greatly, you never lose sight of the objects you are observing. Because the binoculars are filled with nitrogen. This means that the lenses cannot fog up from the inside - and the view remains clear.
	WITHSTANDS STREAMS AND CONTINUOUS RAIN If you don't pay attention for a moment, the binoculars are already lying in the puddle. No problem, because the waterproof housing reliably keeps liquids away from the inside of the optics. Even in the heaviest of rain showers, no water is guaranteed to get inside.
	ADJUSTED TO GLASSES WEARERS IN NO TIME AT ALL You can enjoy a perfect view with and without glasses thanks to the twist-up eyecups. Because the distance between your eyes and the objective lenses can be optimally adjusted and you can comfortably see the entire field of view.
	PERFECTLY TAILORED TO YOUR VISION With the diopter compensation, the optics can be quickly adjusted to your individual eyesight. Because you can compensate for differences in vision between your left and right eye in no time at all.
	MAINTAIN AN OVERVIEW OVER THE LONG TERM Enjoy the view in peace or talk to wild animals - with the tripod connection thread, the optics are quickly mounted and you can look forward to wobble-free images.
	BRIGHT IMAGES ON DARK DAYS There is so much to discover, but the lighting conditions are not always ideal. That is why the binoculars have been provided with the high-quality HR metal prism coating. It significantly increases light transmission, allowing more light through to your eyes. The result: bright images that inspire.
	COATING FOR MORE CLARITY AND CONTRAST Take a close look at everything with every look - you have to be able to see every little thing clearly through your binoculars. The PXA phase coating does a first-class job here: thanks to the clear images with excellent contrasts, you won't miss a single detail.
	BRIGHT JOY OF OBSERVATION Don't grope in the dark, even in twilight and in adverse lighting conditions: the ultra-bright coating lets even more light through to your eyes for brighter images.
	WELL FILLED Strong temperature fluctuations occur in nature. The optics are filled with nitrogen so that you still have a clear view. This way the lenses cannot fog up from the inside.
	COLOR-TRUE IMAGES IN BRIGHT COLORS The excellent ED glass significantly reduces the stray light and prevents the formation of color fringes. So look forward to the sight of wild animals, landscapes and Co. in colour-true, brilliant images and radiant colors.
