This lightweighted spotting scope is one of the best buys you can find in Singapore! An award-winning scope which is specially flown in from Japan, it will fascinate you with its great performance at an unbeatable price!
Possessing ED (Extra Low Dispersion) Optics, this 80mm aperture birding scope is truly a value-for-money investment especially to beginners on bird watching! Images offer great contrast and are true to original colour. It gives a VERY good fight to the more established European models like the S-, L- and Z- brands. A customer has even commented that there is no clear difference in image quality between this and an established European brand! However, you can easily get 2 of this model for the price of 1 such European model.
The Vixen Geoma ED80-A has been specially imported from Japan by McGill as the STAR buy for bird watchers here in Singapore. The ED optics is arguably of the same excellent quality that is so famous for the ED Telescope Series by Vixen, a world leader in astronomical optics,. So you can be assured that all the goodness of the night time technology has been transferred to that of a day time spotting scope!
Made of advanced polycarbonate resin, including 20% glass-fiber, the body is particularly rigid and comfortable to hold. Amazingly lightweighted at less than 1.2kg for a 80mm scope, this model outperforms all European models if based on weight/portability, which becomes critical on long trekking trips!
This model can focus easily with just one finger and comes with a retractable hood to prevent stray light during viewing. Completely waterproof and nitrogen-filled, the Geoma ED80-A will give you many good years of enjoyment if maintained properly.
This model is also highly recommended for digiscoping with the Nikon Coolpix Series digital cameras as the Nikon lens is only 28mm in diameter. The small size reduces or eliminates vignetting when attached to this scope in conjunction with the following separate eyepieces: GL15 (19x magnification), GL20 (25x) and GL25Wide (31x). All cost S$120 each only. The adapters DG-FS and 28mm DG Ring from Vixen are needed for digiscoping. Both optional adapters are available at a combined price of S$120 only. Please let us know during ordering whether you like to take pictures with your digital camera as you definitely need the adapters and the GL15, GL20 or GL25Wide for digiscoping.
