For the first time, a unique variable wide-angle eyepiece now complements the eyepiece range. Its performance data speaks for itself : 25 - 50 x WW ASPH with a subjective field of view of more than 60° across the entire zoom range. Consequently, Leica enables viewing experiences which are unique on this scale.
The newly developed interchangeable bayonet system has an integrated, automatic eyepiece lock, which fixes all eyepieces securely to the scope. Thanks to the entirely new construction of the optical system, the eyepiece's focal length is now also independent of the 65 mm or 82 mm scope being used, and is retained when the eyepieces are changed. The eyepiece has new, rubberised function elements and comfortable rotating eyecups, which significantly increases comfort when viewing. As a result, the eyepiece is particularly good to get hold of and also easy to handle when wearing gloves. The eyepiece is also waterproof up to 17ft (5m) plus, to maintain peak performance and prevent fogging, it is nitrogen filled.

Comments about Leica 25-50x Aspheric Wide-Angle Zoom Eyepiece for Televid Spotting Scopes:
Although this is a spotting scope eyepiece, those of us in the astronomy community have come to realize that this eyepiece is outstanding as a telescope eyepiece rivaling some of the finest fixed focal length eyepieces ever produced including the Zeiss Abbe orthoscopics. Contrast and "snap to" focus is outstanding with pinpoint stars out to the edge of its generous field of view. It will require special adapters from third party sources to fit in standard 2" diagonals but well worth the hassle and added expense. I recently purchased a second zoom from Hayneedle that I intend to use for binoviewing.
