Designed to produce crisp and clear wide-angle views, the ZEISS Victory Harpia 85 Spotting Scope is engineered for the superb performance hunters, birders, and outdoor enthusiasts have come to expect from the brand.

Its performance begins with the use of extra-low dispersion fluoride glass, which virtually eliminates color fringing and halos caused by chromatic aberration, ensuring views are crisp and sharp with accurate color fidelity. Additionally, ZEISS' proprietary T* full multi-coat system maximizes light transmission to improve color rendition, contrast, and clarity, while exterior lens surface LotuTec coating ensures oils, sap, dust, and dirt are easy to clean off without residue. The large 85mm objective lens draws in copious amounts of light to ensure images remain bright and clear, even in low or challenging light, and helps to produce the wide field of view. This version of the Harpia 85 is offered here with the spotting scope body only; an optional eyepiece is required for proper use.

To make viewing more comfortable, the eyepiece holder is set at a 45° angle, which places the user's head in a natural position whether they're sitting, standing, or lying prone. A rotating tripod collar enables the user to further position the eyepiece precisely where they want it to limit head movement when using the spotter with other optics, like a rangefinder or a firearm. A dual-speed focusing mechanism ensures tack-sharp images, and front threads allow the use of filters, like polarizing or ND, to enhance and sharpen views even more. The optical tube is nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be water and fogproof in even the harshest conditions, with a standard 1/4"-20 that makes it easy to mount onto most photo/video/field tripods and other support systems.

From the woods, to the mountains, to the steppes, the Victory Harpia 85 delivers expansive and panoramic views with enhanced clarity and true color representation.

Q: 7. Hey there,Questions...1. Can you attach this to a DSLR camera?2. I noticed there are some 1.25 lens attachments that have extra zoom... maybe a stupid question, as I'm buying this as gift, but does that extra zoom, give you an overall further zoom on the scope? We're looking at this for a travel astronomy telescope.thanks!!

A: To answer your questions.1. Not as it comes out of the box. It is possible to attach this to a DSLR but you would need an adapter to go from the 1.25 on the scope to whatever lens attachment your DSLR uses.2. With this scope you have to buy an eyepiece. The eyepieces come in fixed power and zoom from a variety of manufactures. Any zoom lens is going to have a certain range of magnifications it can produce, for example if it can zoom from 2x to 6x the lens is capable of a 3x zoom (this is a non-technical way of stating this). If another lens can zoom from 2x to 10x it has a 5x zoom. An extra zoom, sometimes called an extended zoom, sometimes called an wide range zoom, will generally give a wider range of magnifications than a standard zoom. To find out what magnifications a certain lens will provide you need to see what the minimum and maximum points it will produce are. These are not given in powers magnification since that varies depending on the objective size of the scope so you either compare mm points if they are in the same general area of magnification or do a bit of math to see what they produce when mounted to this specific scope body.Hope that helps. I use mine for travel astronomy as well as for land use and am quite happy with it.

Q: 8. For digiscoping, what accessories do you recommend ? I use Pentax K5-II.

A: Unfortunately that camera is no longer available. And I would need to know what spotting scope you have. You will need an adapter for your scope and a T ring for your camera. Remove the eyepiece from the scope and replace it with the adapter. Then remove the lens from your camera and replace it with the T ring. Then screw the T ring onto the adapter of the scope and start shooting.

Q: 9. Does the Meopta Meostar S2 82 HD angled spotting scope support digiscoping with DSLR or other camera types than the iPhone/Smartphone variety?

A: Yes, it can work with cameras. It depends on the camera you have. You will need an eyepiece and a camera mount adapter.
