Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Does this item come with the original Swarovski box?
A: The Swarovski 25-50x W Wide-Angle Zoom Eyepiece BH #SWEP2550WW • MFR #49440 is sold new and comes in the original Swarovski box.
Q: 2. 1- could you let me know the size of the filter I can put in front of the 95mm objective?
A: Hello Jeremiah - My apologies for the delay in responding - I did not get the notification. The 95mm Modular Objective can accept a 97mm filter size, which is a VERY uncommon size. Here is the bottom line, even if you were able to source out a 97mm filter, or use a 105mm filter and a step-down ring: there are no filters currently on the market that will not adversely affect the optical performance of the spotting scope. Thinking this through: a $400 filter used on a Canon 800mm f/5/6 lens is only having to work with a 16x lens magnification. It is a perfectly good optical system. That same filter quality attached to the 95mm scope now has to deliver top optical quality at 70x!!! If you want to use the filter as protection for the scope front element, you will be adversely affecting image quality by doing so. My tip - slide out the retractable sunshade when you are using the spotting scope in the field, and it will be less likely for you to scratch or damage the scope lens.
Q: 3. Which tripod head works with the 115mm scope?
A: A wide variety of tripod heads will work with the Swarovski ATX/STX/BTX 115mm Objective Lens Module. here are (2) suggestions: Gitzo 2-Way Fluid Head BH #GIGHF2W • MFR #GHF2W or the Swarovski CTH Compact Tripod Head BH #SWCTH • MFR #49078
Q: 4. Is this 115mm model compatible with the older DH101 head as direct mount? Thanks.
A: Yes, this this 115mm model is compatible with the older DH101 head as a direct mount.
Q: 5. Is the optical quality superior to my current 30X70 zoom? I assume so since zooms usually are inferior. Tests? Proof of image quality over zoom? If used at night for astronomy, e.g., estimating magnitudes of variable stars, will the small 2.7 exit pupil be a negative to the point "not really usable at night sky"? What about splitting the light into the two barrels? Will this also be an issue of "not really meant for nighttime sky viewing"?
A: I own both the angled 30x70 zoom lens and the binocular BTX 35x eyepieces for my 90mm Swarovski modular spotting scope. Two me they are two different tools in the tool box. The 30x70 zoom eyepiece is ideal for scoping distant birds for bird watchers (which I am), especially for distant waterfowl on a lake as you pan the 180 degree vista in front of you. This combo is also ideal for watching shorebirds. You find the ducks at 30x and if you can’t identify them, you use the zoom feature. I use the binocular eyepiece for nest watching only these days, such as Bald Eagle and Osprey nests, or Purple Martin houses. With the binocular eyepiece, the whole unit is kind of heavy and bulky so you do not want to be lugging it too far in the field. I find the depth of field and, therefore, the focus, very sensitive with the binocular eyepiece. The binocular eyepiece is not the best choice if you are sharing the scope viewing experience with others because they will have to adjust the interpupilary distance of the two lenses and possibly the adjustable rings that aid in the distance your eyes are from the lenses. Optically, both lenses are mind-blowing! I have used the binocular eyepiece at night watching birds and bats fly silhouetted in front of the full moon. It was extremely sharp and bright. I am in my late 60s and have owned and used just about every make of scope. I am an Ornithologist so watch birds for a living, for citizen science, and for pleasure, and nothing can touch the quality of this scope for bird watching. I am sorry, for astronomical endeavors, I just don’t have the experience or expertise to answer your questions.
Q: 6. Reviewer Cynthia said, "and you can't carry it attached to your tripod like you can with other scopes". Is this true? I need a scope I can carry on the tripod constantly, and weight is not an issue. Would this scope qualify? Thank you for any info you can provide.
A: You can carry it on a tripod. The scope weighs 3 lbs without the eyepiece. I would not suggest it because of it being more prone to being hit while carrying it.
Q: 7. Would this fit an opticron gs665s?
A: It only fits Swarovski scopes.
Q: 8. What is the field of view with the ATX 115 mm?
A: The field of view is the same as the 95mm 57 " to 104' at 1,000 yds.
Q: 9. Does anyone know why the Balance Rail II is discontinued? How do we have a solid support on the scope when doing digiscoping with heavy DSLR?
A: Swarovski BR Balance Rail BH #SWBRU • MFR #49089 https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1324217-REG/swarovski_49089_balance_rail_universal.html https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1324217-REG/swarovski_49089_balance_rail_universal.html There should not be any issue if you are using an appropriate 2 way pan/tilt head on your tripod
Q: 10. Is there any difference in image quality between an angled or straight viewing eye piece?
A: Hello, There is no difference in image quality, only in how you place your eye to look through the spotter. The straight eyepiece is coaxial with the field of view, so it's more intuitive, but the angled is more forgiving in field positions. Best Regards, David Eickelmann, Swarovski Optik North America.
