New Swarovski Adapter for Iphone (1 Viewer)

barshnik · Mar 18, 2014

Well, have had a few days to play with the Swarovski iPhone5/5S adapter using my 10x32 Swarovision Travelers.

Quick review follows -

Cons:
Expensive
Seems to adversely affect the phone signal strength

Pros:
Beautifully made
It works

Here are some pics of the pieces -

Here are a few pics using the adapter. The first is un-cropped, shows the vignetting as you see it. It was taken from 190 yards away. Then, a couple more I cropped 'in-camera'.

Thanks to Gordon for getting it when he said he would, sending when he said he would, and charging what he said it would cost.

I'll try to get more pleasing photos in the next few days to show what it is really capable of. Oh, the ring fits the eyepiece of my Nikon 8x32 SE, so that will make for an interesting comparison, no?

Thanks for posting a review when you said you would, with pictures - like you said you would, of birds - that we assumed you would.
You live in a tough area, none of the birds around here could use a chainsaw.
All that being said, the colors came out very, very nice and the images are pretty darn sharp.

A lot of times sellers don't make good on 'promises', you do. Thats all I was clumsily trying to get across.

I've tried a few of the photo apps I've got, and the free IOS iPhone app seems to work by far the best with the adapter.

Not in a great birding area - they don't tend to gamble much.

Oh, I really appreciate the positive comments, was just trying to be a bit of a smart aleck.

Well, once again, if anyone is interested, we got one in today for the ELs 42/50/Range and we'll have another one in for the ATX/STX on Friday.
The one for the ATS/M and STS/M won't be in for another month or so.

Hi John, I am impressed with the pictures! Sorry if I missed it, what model Swarovski binocular did you use?

10x32 SV. Traveler version, the tan color blends with the desert dirt.

I was impressed with the pictures as well!

I'll try to get a couple pics that might show the presence (or lack) of CA on the SV. Will have to wait a day for sunshine though, which is very unusual here! For the Nikon SE fans out there, the 8x32 SE actually works with the adapter, might compare the 2 binocs with pics. Not really fair though as one is 8x and the other 10x.
