The Vortex Optics 45° angled-viewing Razor HD 22-48x65 Spotting Scope is engineered with superior glass and specialised optical coatings to provide clear and bright images at all magnifications. The triplet apochromatic lens configuration is made of high-density (HD) extra-low dispersion (ED) glass to increase light transmission, minimise distortion, and virtually eliminate chromatic aberration. All air-to-glass surfaces have Vortex's XRPlus anti-reflective coatings to minimise light loss and maximise image brightness, while the Porro prisms have highly reflective dielectric coatings that improve brightness, clarity, and colour accuracy. This combination of coatings and optics creates a spotting scope that produces bright, clear, high-contrast images with accurate colour rendition.
The lightweight and armoured magnesium-alloy chassis is O-ring sealed and argon filled to be water and fogproof. A helical focus system, with a wide adjustment collar, allows for fast, yet fine focusing even when wearing gloves. The scope has a 1/4"-20 tripod mounting shoe and a tripod collar that rotates to permit the eyepiece to be positioned in the best viewing position. A retractable lens shade helps to reduce glare while keeping snow or rain off the objective lens.
