ATTACHING / REMOVING THE EYEPIECE A Leica Apo-Televid consists of the spotting scope body and an eyepiece. To attach one of these eyepieces to the spotting scope, the red mark (1b) on the bayonet side of the eyepiece must first be aligned opposite the point (2a) on the spotting scope bayonet (2). In this position, the eyepiece is then inserted straight and pressed down. A short turn to the right (clockwise) lets the eyepiece engage and lock. To remove it, press the release button (3) on the underside of the spotting scope body. The eyepiece can then be turned to the left (anticlockwise) and pulled straight out.

EN

USE WITH AND WITHOUT GLASSES
Users who do not wear glasses should turn (see below) the eyepiece cup to the left (anticlockwise) until it clicks into place. This position secures the correct distance between eyepiece and eye and prevents annoying stray light. The click-stop provides the eye with a steady rest and thus avoids blurring. When viewing with glasses, the eyepiece cup should remain screwed in, so that the entire field of view is visible.

FOCUSING
The dual focusing roller of the Leica Apo-Televid models is equipped with two different ratios. The rear section of the focusing roller (in viewing direction, 4b) is used for rough or presetting; the front, narrower section (4a) is used for fine adjustment. This ensures fast, precise focusing at both low and high magnifications.
Note: The rear focusing roller can only be turned between its two stops. Unlike this, the front roller is equipped with a friction clutch, allowing it to be turned beyond its stops. This is a matter of design, it neither impairs focusing in any way, nor does it cause any damage.

EN

EXTENDABLE LENS HOOD
The built in lens hood (5) should always be pulled out during viewing. If provides effective protection against side light (stray light), mechanical damage and soiling of the front lens by rainwater, fingerprints etc.

TRIPOD MOUNTING
Due the high magnifications achieved with any eyepiece, the use of a sturdy tripod is often indispensable. For this reason, the Leica Apo-Televid models are equipped with an especially large support with a 1/4" tripod thread (5c). To increase the possible applications of the models with angled view, the tripod support can be rotated by 360°, engages at 45° intervals, and can be locked in any desired position using the clamping screw (5b).

INTERCHANGEABLE EYEPIECES

Notes: All eyepieces are supplied with case, bayonet cap, and protective front cap. These eyepieces cannot be used on the earlier Leica Televid/APO-Televid 62 and 77 models. The earlier eyepiece models for the earlier Leica Televid/ APO-Televid 62 and 77 models cannot be used on the current Leica Televid 65 and 82 models.

VARIO EYEPIECE 25-50X WW ASPH.
Zoom eyepiece with continuously adjustable magnification, very large field of view and outstanding optical performance. Suitable for universal application in all areas of nature viewing. With integrated rotating eyepiece cup. Order no. 41021

ACCESSORIES

Note: The Digital Adapter 3 can also be used with some of the respective eyepieces on the previous Leica Televid-/ Apo-Televid 62 und 77 models.

Usable:

DIGITAL ADAPTER 3
The LEICA Digital Adapter 3 (order no. 42 304) allows the Leica Apo-Televid 65 and 82 spotting scopes to be used with many of the Leica digital compact cameras (and other models with similarly dimensioned lens barrels). The combination allows high-quality digital photographs to be taken of even very distant objects. For instance, the combination with the 25-50x eyepiece gives a telephoto lens focal length of approx. 1250 to 2500 mm (equivalent to a 50 mm lens with the 35 mm format). For details and for further information on the Leica digital cameras that can be used, please contact your specialist Leica dealer or our Leica information service (see page 23 for the address).

FILTERS

EN

To protect the front lens ­ particularly from severe environmental influences (such as salt water) ­ it makes sense to use an E 67 / E 82 screw in filter. Standard, colorless UVa filters are recommended.

EVERY READY CASES
The ever ready cases available as accessories provide protection against dirt and bumps. Their special design allows the respective Leica Apo-Televid 65 or 82 models to be used without taking them out of the case.

MAINTENANCE / CLEANING

EN

Special maintenance is not necessary. However, to maintain performance over many years, the optical system should always be carefully cleaned. Coarse dirt particles, such as sand, should be removed with a fine hair brush or blown away. Marks such as fingerprints on the front lens and eyepiece lenses can be cleaned with a damp cloth and then wiped off with a soft, clean leather or dust-free cloth. Special cleaning cloths, as used for glasses, are not recommended. They are impregnated with chemicals that can damage optical glass and its coatings (the glass used to make glasses has a different composition from the types of glass used in spotting scopes). Alcohol and other chemical solutions must not be used to clean the housing. If necessary, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For excessive soiling, your Apo-Televid can be cleaned simply by rinsing it under running water. Saltwater can be rinsed off in the same way.

Note: To protect the front lens ­ particularly from severe environmental influences (such as salt water) ­ it makes sense to use an E 67 / E 82 screw in filter.
