Description

When it comes to optics, Swarovski delivers the renowned image quality and top-notch craftsmanship that researchers, tactical experts, and nature lovers have come to expect from the brand. The 85mm objective is a good choice for hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, or birders since it strikes a good mix between light-gathering power and mobility. Extra-low dispersion fluoride glass components effectively transmit all visible light wavelengths, producing vivid images that are clear and detailed. Spherical aberrations are corrected via an integrated field-flattener lens system, allowing sharp details to be seen without deformation at the view's edges. All lenses and prisms have SWARODUR and SWAROTOP coatings, which reduce glare while increasing contrast. A magnesium-alloy frame that is lightweight and strong and is covered in a rubberized armor that works in tandem with the optical performance and technology. In order to be weatherproof, waterproof, submersible, and resistant to internal fogging when traveling through extreme temperature changes or environmental conditions, its optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed. To enable accurate eyepiece placement in relation to the mounting system, the tripod collar incorporates a rotating collar and a 1/4"-20 connector on the bottom of the Arca-Swiss compatible shoe.

Features

• Optional eyepiece module required: straight (STX) or angled (ATX) viewing and binocular viewer (BTX) available
• Large 85mm objective lens draws in more light than the smaller module and produces a larger exit pupil for improved low-light performance
• Extra-low dispersion fluoride HD glass limits chromatic aberrations to produce clearer and sharper views with little or no color fringing
• Field-flattener lens system eliminates spherical aberrations to eliminate distortion at the edges of the field of view
• Anti-reflection SWAROTOP lens coatings reduce glare and improve contrast, color rendition, and clarity
• Scratch-resistant SWARODUR coatings protect exterior lens surfaces
• Large focusing collar is easy to manipulate even when wearing gloves
• Rotating tripod mount allows for precise eyepiece placement
• Tripod shoe is compatible with Arca-Swiss quick release plates; standard 1/4"-20 socket on bottom of shoe
• Lightweight and impact-resistant magnesium-alloy housing
• Rubber armor protects against impacts while providing a slip-resistant grip for more secure handling during setup and breakdown
• SWAROCLEAN non-stick coating on exposed lens surfaces allows sap and oils to be easily cleaned for clearer views
• Nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be dustproof, waterproof/submersible to 13', and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature changes or environmental conditions
