Incredible optics!

 

Incredible optics!

These binoculars are pow-ow-owerful. I can view details of the moon's craters with these babies! Love the sharp visible range when birding-- from the feeder just feet away, to raptors soaring a mile away. Also the clarity of images in dim light...

good value in middle of the road binoculars from Swift

 

good value in middle of the road binoculars from Swift

As advertised, the Swift 8.5X44 Audubon Waterproof binoculars are an excellent buy. I have found the optics to be very sharp and bright and have had no problems with interior fogging, despite some light rain use while birding. They are not all that...

Look no further!

I have worked on microscopes as part of my career as a geologist. Because of this I have gotten quite particular about optical equipment quality. But I'm also thrifty enough to realize that although the $1K-level binculars as offered by Zeiss, Leitz,...

My current favorite binoculars

 

My current favorite binoculars

I've had these binoculars for over one year. I use them mainly for birding. My previous binoculars were my almost 25 year old Leitz Trinovid 10x40's. The Trinovids were excellent binoculars in their day but they are definitely getting long in the...

Sharp image even in lower light situations

 

Sharp image even in lower light situations

IMO it's the best roof prism pair of binoculars you can get under $500. My one and only complaint is the screw type eye relief tubes can't be locked in position except all the in or out.

Fine optics at an affordable price

 

Fine optics at an affordable price

The Swift 8.5 x 44 HHS Audobons are fine birding binoculars at an affordable price. They offer a clear, sharp image without going to the price extremes of the three big brands. They are easy to use, although the focus wheel could be larger for easier...

Swift Audubon HHS exceedingly clear image

 

Swift Audubon HHS exceedingly clear image

I did some research and ordered three top-rated binoculars, 8 x 42, in the $300 range. Spent an hour or so outdoors with all three pairs. The Swift Audubon HHS had much crisper and brighter image than either the Nikon Monarch or the Eagle Optics...

I own 6 pairs of binoculars and, for the money, these are the best. Ligtweight, bright, sharp. I particularly like the LEFT eye dipoter adjustment.

Warranty Nightmare

 

Warranty Nightmare

My Swift Binocoulars was exposed to a rain shower on my deck. The promply fogged up. I called the customers service rep and he was most helpful. He told me to mail the bino to the repair center which I did. Two weeks later he called me back to...

Excellent binoculars for the money

 

Excellent binoculars for the money

The swift audubon 8.5x44 porro prism has always been considered an excellent binocular for the money. This is a roof prism version of the same. These still live up the the reputation that the other audubons have established. While not quite as good...
