Swarovision closest focusing distance (1 Viewer)

[Jerry S]

Hi , I am looking for a pair of top quality binos to help me spot parasitic wasps, I have the swarovision 10x50s which are absolutely stunning except for the closest focusing distance. Can anyone recommend a pair of swaros or zeiss binoculars which would give the closest focusing distance, thanks, Jerry

I use the 8x32SV which has a minimum of 2m, have you considered the Vortex Viper HD ?

This is knocking on the door resolution wise and can focus down to 3ft.

How are the optics of the vortex compared to the swarovision for close up?

Not what you were asking, but nothing comes close to a Pentax Papilio for up close.

My favorite bins for butterflying+birding are the Zeiss 8x32 FL because they focus (for me) down to 5 ft and they have a focusing rate that works quickly but precisely from close focus to infinity. For dedicated close-up work (down to 1.5 ft) the Pentax 6.5x21 Papilio is the best choice.
