In brief . . .
Start by asking why Swarovski doesn't make wide angle image stabilised 10x42 and 14x52 binoculars.
State that they could do so:
'With their technology and optical expertise, I know they could, and they could do it quite quickly.'
Immediately assert that they choose not to do so:
'I think the reason is they know if they produced two binoculars like that they would cannibalize all their other binoculars because even if they cost $5000 it would be the only binocular people would buy because it could replace all their other binoculars for hunter's and birders.'
Use an AI programme to confirm the obvious:
'The reason there aren't many stabilized binoculars with a large field of view (FOV) is primarily due to the technical limitations . . . '
Notwithstanding what Swarovski has publicly stated, provide a timeline to introduction:
'I have a suspicion Swarovski is working on IS binoculars in Tyrol right now and will introduce them in a year to 18 months.'
But also question if they are trying hard enough - or at all:
'I wonder how hard they have tried? I think they figure they do alright with conventional binoculars, so why change their successful formula.'
. . . so 🤷♂️
