HELP! Leica 32x or 32xWA Eyepiece? (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Raptor

Are there different 32x eyepieces from Leica? I have thought that the 32x is always THE wide-angled one. The 32xWW is IMHO optically the best eyepiece there is (well... together with the new Swaro 30xpduxon said:

ah right, I see the confusion.
I am assuming that raptor has a Televid 62 for which there are a 32WW and a 32x so these would be 40 on the T77. I believe the 32ww/40ww was introduced especially for the Televid 62. The 32WW on the T77 is the 26WW on the T62 and its gorgeous. I preferred it to the Swaro but they are both crackers - we're spoilt!!

Pete - I think you are just right! And yes - we are spoilt with all these fine optics.
Michael - So the question is actually, do you need the power (32x) or the wide field (26/32xWW)? I would take the 26x for a wide field... (and the zoom for power).

Yes I have the Televid 62 APO, I have settled on the 32WW for the wide field of view 131' @ 1000yds, I have the zoom as well, we age Goldens at great distances up to 2000 -3000 meters away, when on higher zooms (w/16-48zoom) you loose quality and it is uncomforatable holding your eye at the eyepiece (barrelling effect) and moving the scope at the same time, waiting for up to a minute for the subject to show you something so you can age it, so I am hoping that the 32ww can make the whole process speedier and more accurate, I will post a report on my results, thanks for your input, Raptor, www.eaglewatch.ca
