Does anybody know how many versions or models of 20X-60X zooms Swarovski released for their AT80 scopes..? I bought a scope not long ago,with the zoom ..This zoom has a locking pin and a kind of a disc,or thick ring on the base..I have seen other zooms without this base.I used to own the astronomy version of the swaro zoom..(not quite an 8-24 zoom,more like a 7.5-23 ...)..In my memory the astronomy zoom was taller and of less diameter than the zoom I have now..I also saw some pictures today of the model without the base disc ,and seems a bit thinner and taller too...
Visually i cant remember any quality of the older astronomy zoom,because i owned it years ago,but this model I have now makes me feel a bit of the rolling ball effect when panning ,ans I never noticed this ( i think) with the other model...
Do You guys know If swaro modified the Zoom over the years or how many versions were released,Or if the changes were only external..?
Here are a couple of photos,I saw this one in a camera gear web page today,depicting the thin version without the base..the other pic is my current scope...any info would hep
Danke
