Swarovski Optik produces some of the world’s finest optical designs and products. Their brilliant, innovative optical products & designs exemplify their commitment to uncompromising quality.
Swarovski’s optics nearly eliminates optical distractions such as color fringing and a lack of color-rendition. In fact - the optical refinements of the STM-80 result in what one might call an outdoor viewing-nirvana. Scoping with the STM-80 reveals a field of view with intricately-patterned subjects with crisp delineation - something enthusiastic birders will greatly appreciate.
An important consideration for hikers and digiscopers is the fact that despite this spotting scopes impressive profile and viewing capabilities, its weight remains just under 3 lb/1.4 kg - a not-so-simple feat of manufacturing that is due in part to this fine optic’s rugged yet lightweight magnesium housing.
