    New Product Introduction Today From Swarovski ?

    Oddly enough, I use a type of this fingertip support (Biological Tripod ! :) from time to time too. Mainly on my right hand for the reasons Stephanie said - it allows me to tuck the elbow firmly into the body for more support. Also as John and others have said, it is as a change up grip when my...

    New Product Introduction Today From Swarovski ?

    Yeah, the picture is somewhat misleading (he might want to send himself in for servicing ! :) - the ring finger of the 'Biological Tripod' should actually be braced against the opposing hand to complete the '3-D bracing truss' ! 3:-) Actually, I'm surprised I haven't seen more about 5-axis...

    What you've got there John, is Swarovski's new 'Biological Tripod' ..... comes included free with just about every user (some caveats may apply - sawmillers, butchers, thieves, etc) :-O Chosun :gh:

    Sagi, no doubt the extra Fov will be a wonderful thing, and noticed by a few more than just Dennis |:P| ;) The thing is the SF ..... IS already ......Zeiss's, Swarovski NL answer :brains: Look at the gymnastics Swarovski has gone to in terms of market positioning, feature crippling, even...

    Surely any Zeiss response is already here - it's called the 42mm Zeiss SF. :smoke: I wouldn't be waiting ..... I think they're still busy paying for that one, the 32mm version, and the 50mm SF which must be into 'up to and more than' it's 5th year of development now ....... :) Swarovski...

    I am puzzled over the need for an RF version :h?: Do you and others do some sort of precise bird survey work that requires an exact distance to a bird to be known and recorded ?? :cat: Chosun :gh:

    New Product Introduction Today From Swarovski ?

    It is interesting that there are more than a few big fans of the HT's ergonomics (actual focus wheel smoothness, and optics aside) - even finding it "intuitive" ! I found the ergonomics distinctly 'un-intuitive' :eek!: Not nearly as hands forward contrived as the SF, but closely related...

    New Product Introduction Today From Swarovski ?

    Thanks John - nice comparo ! Would have a few early commenters eating their words ! :eat: :-O I'm (along I imagine with Zeiss, Leica, et al) really very interested in seeing the first actual physical cutaways of this bin from both a design and a manufacturing viewpoint. I wonder whether...

    New Product Introduction Today From Swarovski ?

    Gijs, Jan, Is the little cleaning set really just a trinket ? Or is it a more serious attempt at COVID-19 hygiene protocol at this time, for when the binocular is passed between different users ? Have any of the reps or marketing/ advertising material mentioned that ? Wow - these unboxing...

    New Product Introduction Today From Swarovski ?

    Dennis, you should just order an 8x42, 10x42, and a 12x42 NL, as well as a 8x32 SF, and a C8 Corvette, as well as a Canon R5 (they've already flagged possible supply issues). It shouldn't cost too much quick quick money to jump to the top of the queue. That way you can flip all of those for a...

    New Product Introduction Today From Swarovski ?

    Gijs, I think there is more chance of you understanding our English, than you understanding our Dutch - especially if you are with Jan because then everything would be Double Dutch ! :-O I'm still trying to sift through the actual (and expected) viewing experience with regard to Swarovski's...

    New Product Introduction Today From Swarovski ?

    I have heard rumours that Swarovski might be offering a 'SwaroTX' upgrade to the forehead rest. These are nanotech adhesive patches infused with Botox to straighten any wrinkles out. Fantastic ! now we can all run around looking like Nichole Kidman ! :-O Chosun :gh:

    New Product Introduction Today From Swarovski ?

    Oops ! Thanks :t: It is indeed a H style body (SLC HD) ..... hmm, odd - I've pretty much filed it in the memory banks under 'do not like' ! :) must be memories of the brick like A-K x56's (which are a bit like a HH :-O). The old 'Neu' (if that makes sense) in smaller sizes is more what I...

    It gives them a nice coverage across the ergonomic formats. Better than duplicating an existing format (in the case of open bridge, despite the benefits that have been sung long and loud, perhaps too close in market positioning to the EL SV to provide sufficient product differentiation) ...

    Dennis, lol :-O ..... your brain lies to you all the time ! I'll let you in on a little secret - when your brain tells you it's never lied to you ..... that's a lie !!! 3:-) I like sharp edges too. It helps with 'detecting motion' in my peripheral field, and also aids in off-axis snap...

    We have a pretty standard response whenever anyone asks what the temperature is in summer ..... mostly the answer comes back as - it's f**kn hot !!! ......... in numbers you could relate to, how does 120°F grab ya ?! :eek!: Chosun :gh:

    Yes. ...... even wider AFov - Nikon 10x50 WX. (though at considerable weight and cost drawbacks). Chosun :gh:

    New Product Introduction Today From Swarovski ?

    Sounds like a plan. If it is the 10x NL, then it would be possible to do a 4 way test with a proper IS bin like the Canon 10x42L IS. Lol - it's middle of winter here .... Temps ranging from low single digits to a sneak over 20 if we're lucky (that's proper °C - none of this 18th Century layers...

    New Product Introduction Today From Swarovski ?

    Neither - it's the uniquely bodied ED3. There's a lot of commonality in the design direction with the Swarovski EL SV open bridge, yet it somehow is much better in the hand. Best by far. I really am not that fussed about the feel in the hand of the 42mm SV's - they're a bit small, especially...

    New Product Introduction Today From Swarovski ?

    Dennis - that's crazy talk ! - even for you ! :bounce: Even if the binocular was permanently glued to your forehead, there will be relative movements of variable frequency, and some randomness in direction, in distance, velocity, and accelerations, between your head, your body, the ground, and...
