Hello,
I have joined the forum today. I'm an amateur birder, of many years. The binoculars I have owned and used for a long time are Swift Nighthawk Mark I, 7X35 578 ft at 1000 yds, extra wide angle, Model 770. Finally, for the first time! I brought them in for cleaning and repair today. I decided to replace rather than get them repaired due to the cost, however, I'm curious to learn something of this pair. I am pretty sure I would have bought them in the 1980s and paid a fair amount at the time. Amazingly, in spite of being used a great deal, travel, home and cottage - cleaning and an adjustment is all that is needed, in spite of travel and many crashes and bangs. I may yet get them repaired as a second pair.
Does anyone know anthing about these binoculars.
Any help would be appreciated.
