This superb telescope is designed to provide 'best in class' optical performance and value. The SP-ED 80 is a high definition fieldscope that features a full waterproof construction, a rubber covered retractable lens hood, a conveniently positioned wide band focusing wheel and a rotating tripod sleeve. Weight is kept to a minimum with the selective use of lightweight materials, and the telescope is very well balanced for most effective field use on a tripod. There are 2 eyepieces available for the SP-ED 80, the 30x WA (wide angle) and the 20-60x zoom. Waterproof, light, durable, ergonomic, performing, affordable... These are a few words that characterize the SP-ED 80 fieldscope.
