Swarovski Giant Binoculars vs BTX (1 Viewer)

[ticl2184]

Just a question to the Forum.

If Swarovski decided to do a range of Giant Binoculars with "Swarovision technology" would anyone be interested in purchasing them, or would you prefer the current BTX system with changable objectives ?

Personally I'd love a pair of 20x80 or 25x100 NL's 😋😋😋


Cheers Tim

Check out my thread: 😉

Which ones are your dream binoculars?

Completely non-existent or just another configuration of an existing model. I have these desires: Leica Ultravid 6x20 Swarovski NL Pure 5x25* Swarovski NL Pure 12x60 Swarovski NL Pure 25x100□ The list may be edited. *But I welcome a WA high grade 5x25 of any brand. □yes, that one would be...

For birding, I prefer the BTX format. That's because of the dramatic weight savings compared with dual objectives with equal diameter. I have found the 95 mm BTX to be mostly bright enough, and a bincular telescope would have to be at least 2x85-88 mm to give comparable resolution.

For astronomy, it would be different.

I mean I like the sound of 25x100 but it would be a big heavy affair

It would be heavy and expensive
But imagine the quality and brightness of image ..

Loving the views of my APM 70mm ED binos with 76degree apparent field of view eyepieces for a 30x view (wider than NL). Not lightweight, but very nice views, the individual eye focussing is fine if you’re not looking too close or following fast moving things. It sure what advantage swaro would bring… rubber armour… these things are already nitrogen purged. APM do a pair with zoom eyepieces that have a very reasonable (and constant width) field of view if you need those things.

Joachim, who would always prefer a pair of astro big bins... for astro. And a BTX (or just a normal angled scope) for birding.

Thanks for your input.
I'm thinking of getting a big pair of ED Binos from APM as it happens but I'd prefer if Swarovski did some..

Brilliant.

Many thanks for this Jring. I didn't know Swarovski did Giant Bins... Do you know if they did another other versions...


Thanks again.

The APM type ones allow you to have freedom of eyepieces.. I like the swaro and Kowa options.. .

Hi,

yes, the even older CF version shown here... including alt/az mount to put on top of a concrete or steel column...

Swarovski Doppelteleskop 30x75

The one on ebay is IF... so quite close to astro big bins... except those are 45 or 90 deg and don't need a super high tripod...

And then, there is of course this... for very severe cases of aperture fever... although following birds is a bit tricky...

I'm happy with the BTX65/95 combo at 35x and occasionally used the 1.7x converter. Wide FOV and very comfortable on the eyes for hours...

Would prefer a BTX version that would zoom - the X series doesn't allow changing eps...
Would prefer also a straight view version of BTX, a sort of a factory version of my LTX115...
