Specifications

Bushnell's 80mm ED Elite spotting scope brings together world-class standards of excellence with a competitive price to the realm of ultra-premium spotting scopes. The angled version provides viewing comfort, weather sealing and optical performance at an unheard-of price.

First and foremost, its housing is entirely sealed from the elements.
It comes with a zoom eyepiece which delivers resolution, field of view and eye relief specifications on par with the best in the class.
And lastly it is equipped with an element of ED (extra-low dispersion) glass, which notably increases the resolution and color fidelity of the edge of your viewing fields.

Particularly in high contrast situations as well as when observing extremely colorful subjects, the benefits of ED glass (known by many names but essentially the same thing) are subtle but nonetheless appreciable by even a total novice. Now Bushnell brings this technology to the consumer without the need to debate whether or not it is worth an enormous price increase versus the non-ED models offered by competitors.

The Elite 80mm ED is available in both straight viewing and 45° angled viewing models. It is not something you'll be able to say for certain until you've experienced the two for yourself, but the general consensus is that straight scopes offer the advantages of quicker sighting as well as a lower mass and price than angled scopes. Angled scopes are far simpler to share simultaneously amongst users of varied heights, and when observing birds from a ground vantage point generally provide a more comfortable setup for extended glassing.

Amongst the very short list of ultrapremium spotting scopes, the 80mm Elite includes a nice view-through case. This valuable accessory is quite nearly a necessity, and is not included but rather an expensive additional option with the European-made ultrapremium units.
