Anyone tried APM super zoom? (1 Viewer)

Hi,
Is anyone using or tried out the APM super zoom 7.7-15.4 mm eyepieces?

There are two versions, one with a 1.25" fitting and one to fit the APM spotting scopes, which I think have a Swarovski ATS type fitting because they sell a spotter with Swaro 25-50 zoom.
Impressively wide fov at 75* across the zoom range and long eye relief of 18-20mm.
I am intrigued as I have a couple of scopes with Swaro fittings and also an adapter to allow the same scopes to take 1.25" EPs.

Happy weekend all.

Hi,

don't expect the 1.25" version of the APM zoom to come to focus in your scopes with swaro mount and 1.25" adapter... there is a reason why they make a special version for spotters...

Has it been made to be weather or water proof ?

Looks like we won’t see this for another month or so. Be interesting to see how it performs.

I hadn't noticed that it's not available yet.
It looks very good on paper.
I can't see its weight anywhere though. I bet it's heavy.
