Nikon has revolutionized the industry with the
Nikon Fieldscope EDG telescope thanks to the innovative
VR vibration reduction system . The sophisticated VR mechanism is produced by lens shift, compensating with great precision for vibrations caused by wind and other uses such as simply focusing or tracking. In this way, we will obtain
stable images by reducing the vibrations to approximately 0.015 of the image blur caused by the vibrations of normal observation. This aspect is also
highly appreciated in Digiscoping as it improves focus precision and the VR effect provides an effect equivalent to a two-step faster shutter speed being especially appreciated in windy environments.
At
the optical level, the
Fieldscope EDG VR have Nikon's prestigious
ED glass , obtaining extreme clarity, luminosity and color reproduction. Built with a
roof prism with phase correction coating and multilayer coated lenses we obtain
high resolution images . In the case of
the straight version, the
roof prism is
equipped with a
highly reflective multi-layer dielectric coating for a brighter view.
The
body of the telescope is both elegant and robust. It is
waterproof up to 2m for 10 minutes and is
purged in nitrogen to prevent fogging of the lenses. The body does not support rotation, it has 3 threaded tripod holes for a better balance of the weight in the mount and it
contains a parasol . It has
7 optional optional eyepieces for the EDG 85 VR series : 20x W, 30x W, 38x W, 50x W, 75x W, 20-60x and 25x LER.
