Meopta S1-75 APO

Meopta S1-75 APO
The Meopta S1-75 APO is completely waterproof as it is filled with nitrogen gas. With a 75mm lens this spotting scope yields a very clear and bright image and is particularly suitable for serious birders or hunters. The Meopta S1-75 APO is a viewer from the renowned house of Meopta and is the successor of the HA/GS-75. The Meopta S1-75 APO differs from the HA/GS-75 APO as follows:

• Meobright multi-coatings provide higher light transmission
• The Meostar S1 scopes are about 50g lighter in weight
• Focusing can now be done in a single revolution instead of 1.5 times as is the case with the HA/GS

Magnification of 30x or 20 to 60x
This Meopta spotting scope is delivered without eyepieces; you will need to purchase these separately. There are two options:

• 30x eyepiece: Magnification of 30x
• 20-60x zoom eyepiece: variable magnification between 20 and 60x

Available in two versions
The Meopta S1 75 is available without apochromatic lenses made of fluorite glass and with APO.

What difference does APO make?
Apochromatic lenses of fluorite glass ensure maximum light transmission, and, thus, a clearer image. The details are even more visible and yield an even sharper picture, something ordinary glass is not able to give. Fluorite keeps dispersion incredibly low, so vague colours are fully eliminated. With fluorite glass, light transmission is 99%; the following diagram makes this clear.

Meopta calls this "APO", Kowa "Prominar, Zeiss, Swarovski, Leica and others call it HD, FL or ED glass. These terms all refer to the same concept.

The S1 Meostar 75 spotting scopes have been used for various (sports) purposes

• Biathlon World Championships
• Flint Lock Musket shooting
