The PhotoScope’s complete integration of premium panoramic observation optics and a high-power, 7 megapixel digital camera with a super tele lens, makes it the ideal spotting scope for birders, aspiring wildlife photographers, guides and outdoor enthusiasts who want to simultaneously observe and digitally capture every stunning detail of animals and objects in the field.

Simply put, Carl Zeiss has reinvented long-range observation and photography with this rugged, weatherproof scope. As an observer you will enjoy wonderfully clear, wide-field panoramic views at 15 to 45 power, and, you will be able to easily and quickly capture high quality images¹ of the animals and objects you see. Or, as a photographer, you will be able to take high quality photographs¹ of birds and wildlife from far enough away that you are not likely to disturb what you are photographing. You will also be able to see what you are photographing in crystal clear detail, unlike the dimmer images you would see through a DSLR with long telephoto lens. This is a new experience for both observers and photographers.

The unique 3x objective zoom of the PhotoScope, coupled with the panoramic eyepiece, provides a wide, easy view at 15 to 45 power: so wide it has to be seen to be believed. With an apparent angle of view of 68° at 15x (that is a field of view of 240 ft @ 1000 yds), it is up to 40% wider than a conventional spotting scope. And, because of its unique optical design, the PhotoScope maintains a wider field of view through its full magnification range, and it does so without losing image brightness as you zoom. The PhotoScope also produces exceptionally bright, crisp and high-contrast images thanks to the newly computed 3x zoom lens with FL elements. A beam splitter makes this brilliant image available for both visual observation through the eyepiece and digital photography.
