Swarovski ATS 65 HD

Good Points: User manual concise and clear. Build quality superb. Improvement Points: Attachment to my camera tripod not as secure as I would like. This may be due to tripod which is good quality but Swarovski own brand may be better. However, Swarovski tripods are so very expensive. Although there is an aiming aid Although there is an aiming aid I found the object matter difficult to locate, only use will improve this, can’t think of anything other that would help?

Good Points: High quality optics. Great light gathering for a 65mm. Relatively light and compact. Improvement Points: No.

Good Points: Great build quality, optically there’s nothing comes close to this amazing little objective lens. 10/10 Improvement Points: None really, except the price, but you get what you pay for.

Good Points: Excellent with the 25-50x w eyepiece Improvement Points: Very expensive

It's a lovely high quality, bright scope with a wide angle of view. It's relatively small, feels solid and is consequently quite heavy for its size. Modular construction does make transport (for flights) easier. Wondered if I would be interested in purchasing a larger objective later for lower light situations and local use. The 65mm is bright enough to make me think it would be very hard to justify.
