Opticron MM3 80 GA ED spotting scope (straight)

The Opticron MM3 80 GA ED spotting scope (straight) is part of the manufacturer's new-generation range, designed with a strong emphasis on the most compact size possible, brighter, more vivid and sharper image quality, while retaining the traditionally reliable, high-quality construction. The straight Opticron MM3 80 GA ED is an ideal choice for hunters, target shooters and archers for viewing targets, or simply for observing the surrounding panorama from a balcony or birdlife from a hide. Its 80 mm optics make it exceptionally well suited for twilight use. The low-dispersion ED optics provide a high-contrast, chromatic aberration-free image.

Like most premium models, this spotting scope is supplied without a zoom eyepiece, allowing the user to choose the eyepiece type best suited to their individual needs. The manufacturer recommends Opticron HR3, HDF and SDL eyepieces, providing either zoom or fixed magnification options. Where the magnification range of binoculars ends, Opticron spotting scopes come into their own. Mounted on a tripod, they enable extended, comfortable observation across the entire magnification range. Thanks to its premium-quality, multilayered FMC coatings, the spotting scope delivers a more contrast-rich, brighter image with more accurate colour reproduction than more affordable instruments.

The Opticron MM3 80 GA ED spotting scope is waterproof, so there is no need to worry about moisture entering the body. Its straight viewing design is particularly popular with target shooters and hunters. It is generally more practical for applications where the scope is used horizontally or pointed downward. Its short 5.9 m close-focus distance also allows observation at shorter distances, which is particularly useful for observing small, shy creatures and for birdwatchers.

Ease of use is further enhanced by the fact that the body can be rotated 90 degrees in either direction within its tripod collar and positioned at 45-degree intervals around its longitudinal axis. The highly precise dual-speed (8:1) micro-focus focusing mechanism also deserves special attention. An optional photo adapter is available, enabling photography with an SLR camera.
