$450.00
This listing consists of a complete Ergoplan viewing tube, catalog number 572 069. This tube features super-wide-field optics (30mm diameter ocular tubes), adjustable binocular tube inclination, and a special retro-reflection system that allows certain accessories to project reticles or masks directly into the oculars. The Leitz description is �Ergoplan Tube FSA-WR�. In addition, the tube has a relay lens turret with magnification factors of 1x, 1.6x, and 2.5x. There is a standard ISO 38mm diameter photo port.
The condition of the viewing tube is very fine, and functionally perfect (it was tested and the alignment checked). This tube is intended only for use with the Ergoplan instrument � it is very massive and requires a very substantial stand to support it
