SWAROVSKI STM 65 HD Straight Spotting Scope 49718

* New Magnesium Technology
* Extremely Short Close Focus Of 3m
* SWAROCLEAN Non-Stick Effect
* STM = Straight, and ATM = Angled

The outstanding optical quality and ergonomic functionality of Swarovski telescopes speaks for itself. The new ATM/STM series of telescopes stand out, not only for their diamond-bright optic, but also for the lightweight, yet simultaneously rugged construction, of their new magnesium housing.

The fluoride-containing HD lenses minimise colour fringing (chromaticaberration) for contrast-rich images with razor-sharp outlines. As a result, significant improvements in resolution and contrast are achieved in comparison to conventional grades of glass. Experience a completely new vision of nature?s world of shapes and colours.

The SWAROCLEAN non-stick effect makes cleaning easier in the case of dirt such as water marks, insect repellents and tree resin. The SWAROCLEAN coating, which is applied in a special process, affects the surface energy of the outer surfaces of the lenses so that dirt can be removed effortlessly.

Maximum precision with minimum production tolerances and the highest-quality materials guarantee the unrivalled optical performance of our telescopes. This is evident in the extreme pinpoint detail, lifelike colour reproduction and outstanding peripheral focus. In the new telescopes, the coatings have been optimised to enable maximum light transmission. As a result, they deliver impressively high-contrast images even when light conditions are poor.

The shortest focus distance of only three metres, ensures that the new model telescopes are also ideally suitable for observation at close range. Near or far ? you will experience unforgettable moments and discover nature with the eyes of a hawk.
