The Vixen Geoma III ED 80mm Spotting Scope Angled With 20-60x Zoom is out of stock at every supplier we deal with. These are in stock or available to order now.
The Vixen GEOMA III ED80 ZOOM is an 80 mm, 45° angled spotting scope with a two-element objective that includes ED (extra-low dispersion) glass, delivering sharp, high-contrast images with virtually no colour fringing. A parfocal 20-60x zoom eyepiece is supplied, along with a smartphone camera adapter for easy photos.
PFM5 five-layer coatings on every optical surface give a brighter view than standard multi-coating, a dual-speed focus knob (9:1 fine focus) makes precise focusing easy, and the tube rotates so the eyepiece can be set where it suits you. The body is nitrogen-filled and waterproof to an IPX6-equivalent standard and weighs 1610 g with eyepiece.
