Leica's APO-Televid 65
is a supreme tool for observing nature, made for those who demand no optical compromises in an instrument that's as small and light as is possible.  It features true apochromatic color correction from fluoride glass elements, for the very best contrast, resolution, and especially subject/background delineation.
With the APO-Televid 65 series, Leica started with what was loved from the older Televid scopes and further improved upon them with all the best of what's come along since.  Continuous improvement is a subtle affair; the APO-Televid has unflinchingly good optics and a new bayonet system, but perhaps the best reason of all to choose a Leica APO-Televid   It makes for a more emotionally engaging observing session, and for most will heartily trump carrying a pair of eyepieces or just accepting the more narrow apparent fields at lower magnifications that historically came with zooming eyepieces.
Another modern benefit enjoyed by the APO-Televid 65 is Leica's latest hydrophobic (
water-repelling
) lens coating for every external objective and eyepiece lens element.  This coating allows water droplets to pearl off and slide away, significantly increasing the usability of the unit when observing in damp or wet conditions.
This is the angled version of the 65mm APO-Televid, which delivers the view at a 45° relative to where the scope is pointed.  This requires a bit more experience to get the hang of using, but is generally preferred whenever you're sharing the viewing with multiple users or if you're using the scope to view celestial objects.
