This 4th generation Baader Hyperion 8-24mm Click-stop Zoom is smaller (55mm wide) and with weight of 290 grams, it is 80 grams light than than its predecessor (the Mk-III model). This makes it an especially good choice for use with binoviewers.
It has an additional 4 millimeter 'back-focus' so is more compatible with spotting scopes that accept 1.25" eyepieces. The longer back-focus, together with Baader's type A adapter ring, means it is more likely to achieve focus at infinity when used with a spotting scope and, when the 1.25 "nose-piece is removed, a 1 3/8" thread is revealed that enables the eyepiece to be screwed directly to Celestron Ultima spotting Scopes. A bayonet adapter is also available that enables the eyepiece to be used with Zeiss Diascope spotters.
Superior optical quality and wide 68 degrees FOV at 8mm and 50 degrees at 24mm and features Baader's 'Phantom Group' multi-coating on all air-to-glass surfaces.
It also remains fully compatible with the Baader 2.25 x Hyperion Barlow (sold separately).
As with previous Baader Hyperion Zoom eyepieces, the Mark IV model features a M43 thread for easy connection to a DSLR or T2 accessory via an optional M43 / T2 adapter.
The eyepiece is supplied with 1.25 and 2" nose-pieces that feature Baader's patented 'Zero Tilt Safety Kerfs' for added peace of mind (less likely to fall out of the eyepiece holder). A yellow storage pouch is also included.
The click-Stop mechanism has been improved - it has the usual 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 mm indentations but the mechanism is softer and more reliable in very cold conditions.
