Model: 65 T*FL

Description :

With optics designed on the basis of the Carl Zeiss Advanced Optics System (AOS), using glass material containing fluoride ions, this spotting scope features objective lenses with super achromatic properties. With Carl Zeiss T* multilayer coating on all glass-to-air surfaces for maximum transmission and natural color, and Carl Zeiss P coating on the surfaces of the prisms for maximum resolution. This advanced optical system provides natural color rendition down to even the finest nuances, superb detail recognition and no color fringes.

The aluminum alloy housing is lightweight yet fully waterproof and nitrogen-purged and features a rotatable tripod bracket, and extensible sunshade with sight. An ergonomically designed dual focusing system features two wheels for fast and fine focusing with just one hand.

Concept

When looking through the eyepiece suitable for spectacle wearers - observers receive a crystal-clear image at a magnification range of 15 to 45x. The subjective viewing angle of 68° (80m/1000m) at magnification 15x is unique and unparalleled. Unlike standard zoom solutions in the eyepiece, the special objective lens design has enabled a unique wide-angle system over the entire magnification range. The field of view is up to 40% larger than that of traditional spotting scopes!

 

The PhotoScope provides excellent features for immediate photographic documentation: a fast zoom lens with a focal length range from 600 mm to 1800 mm (based on 35 mm format) and an outstanding nominal aperture ratio of 1:2.4 to 1:3.3.

 

The starting point of the new system is the complex, newly computed lens with triple zoom setting and FL elements for bright, crisp and high-contrast images. A beam splitter makes this brilliant image available for both visual observation through the eyepiece and digital photography.

 

Unlike SLR cameras with a hinged mirror, the beam splitter projects the image to the low-noise 7 megapixel sensor without any noise and, above all, without any vibration. The camera is triggered by an electronic remote-control. This avoids blur caused by camera shake which is always a problem with such extreme focal lengths.

 

The large, particularly bright fold-out 7 cm OLED monitor is the control center for camera functions and setting parameters.

 

The specially developed autofocus assist function supports manual focusing and ensures a crisp image even in cases of slight misfocusing.

 

Numerous manual setting options are available to the photographer, e.g. manually entering a color temperature for a specific white balance, ISO values above 50 ASA, spot measurement, bracketing function, exposure series and exposure control using a histogram. Furthermore, many additional features have been implemented into this new concept that also offer advanced camera users maximum freedom and creativity.

 

With the new PhotoScope? 85 T* FL, Carl Zeiss provides not only birdwatchers and nature photographers with a new technology that is unique on the global market. The combination of photography and observation is a new high-end solution that offers uncompromising quality and ease of use.
