Swift Osprey 7.5x42 (1 Viewer)

Picked up this lovely Osprey, it is in perfect condition, gives a super sharp image, but it's let down by the very narrow FOV. The image is sharp and good to about 85% of the field, but fuzzy right at the edge. BAK 7 prisms, I like it, FOV apart. I have a beat up old gold band Audubon 8.5x lying around and I am toying with the idea of putting the Audubon prisms into this Osprey. If they will fit that is !!

ON, its a nice binocular if you find a good one, maybe the narrow FOV might put some off, but it is very sharp.
