SWAROVSKI OPTIK release 'first of its kind' NEW 115MM OBJECTIVE MODULE FOR BIRDERS
11 September 2020
SWAROVSKI OPTIK has unveiled its new 115mm objective module - boasting the largest lens of its kind for wildlife and bird watching. The pro-active, Tyrolean family business becomes the first sports optics manufacturer to produce lenses of this size in its own, state-of-the-art, Austrian factory.
The new 115mm objective module could become a must-have item for existing Swarovski owners as those who seek to pick out the tiniest of details and features will be excited to hear that when compared to the 95mm objective module, the larger objective lens diameter brings over 45% more light to the eye of the observer! This increased brightness is especially noticeable at dawn and dusk – bringing some spectacular sightings. The 115mm objective module really comes into its own in low light, allowing you to discover nature’s many amazing facets in their true colours.
The 115mm objective lens will now become the flagship family member of what is an extremely versatile spotting scope system consisting of various modules. Three different eyepieces (ATX/STX/BTX) can be combined with four different objective lenses (65/85/95/115mm), allowing you to adapt to every observation scenario. Swarovski also plan to release a new backpack, which will be available from November 2020, ideal for birders thanks to its compact size and versatility.
Making a lens with an effective diameter of 115mm has been a major challenge for the brand. It takes a wealth of knowledge and experience to ensure the perfect combination of maximum optical precision and mechanical design while applying state-of-the-art technology. Manufacturing tolerances are in the single-digit micrometer range. The lens is manufactured in Absam, Tyrol, in line with SWAROVSKI OPTIK’s usual high quality standards.
