All about optics


The ATS 65 is a lightweight and handy spotting scope that offers high optical quality, despite its compact dimensions. With its angled view the ATS 80 enables comfortable observation for hours. The 80 mm objective lens diameter provides higher detail recognition, while a wider exit pupil ensures brighter images and comfortable viewing even in poor lighting conditions.

The objective lens diameter specifies how much light can enter the optics. This makes it a key factor in an instrument’s performance, for example, in twilight. The bigger the objective lens diameter, the more light the objective lens can capture. The darker the surroundings, the larger the objective lens diameter needs to be. Check the precise product name as the number after the ‘x’ specifies the objective lens diameter in millimeters. For example, a device with the suffix 10x42 has an objective lens with a diameter of 42 mm.

Variable magnification makes it possible to adjust the magnification flexibly within a specific range. In contrast to fixed magnification, it allows you to zoom from the lower value to the higher value. However, as the magnification increases, the field of view, i.e. the image section, becomes smaller. Check the precise product name as the number in front of the ‘x’ specifies the magnification. For example, 30-70x95 is a device with a variable magnification from 30x to 70x.
The field of view describes the size of the image section that can be seen through the optics. This is specified either in meters (width) at a distance of 1000 meters (m/1000m), or feet (width) at a distance of 1000 yards (ft/1000 yds), or as an angle (degrees). The higher the magnification, the smaller the field of view.
Binoculars have a large field of view, which means you can see a wide area. Spotting scopes have a higher magnification, which makes the field of view much smaller, but you can see more detail.
The weight specifies how heavy or light the device is (in grams or ounces). Do you intend to do a lot of walking? Lightweight equipment is a priority in this case.
The ATS 65 is a lightweight and handy spotting scope that offers high optical quality, despite its compact dimensions. Perfectly suited to long days outdoors, when every ounce/gram counts, its angled view facilitates comfortable and effortless observation.
ATS spotting scope incl. eyepieceI love Swarovski binoculars - I own the 8 x 32 NL Pure and have the 10 x 42 NL Pure on loan. They are light, easy to use, with superb optics and great aftercare service! I also own the ATS scope which is superb.
I am a lifelong birder who has been lucky enough to turn my hobby into my work - as a wildlife filmmaker for the BBC and now as an author of bestselling books on birds and other wildlife. I love birding both close to home and around the world, and the company of my fellow enthusiasts.

Swarovski is my go to for optics! I own a spotting scope and have had multiple pairs of their binoculars. The quality of the glass and light gathering capability are, hands down, the best. Being a naturalist, photographer, and guide - my optics represent the quality of what I do and Swarovski provides the best experience for my clients.
I fell in love with the great wide open when I first came to Glacier National Park back in the late 80's. Since that time, I have crafted my life to reflect my passion for nature and conservation. For me, this means facilitating meaningful, first-hand encounters with the world around us and educating my clients along the way.

I love this scope and the customer service
I find that you customer service is falling behind. The fact that you dont offer spare parts to the soc is staggering
It would have been higher but the quality of the newer products is not what it should be and I was charged for a repair on the scope a while ago now, which needs repairing again for the same fault!
it's great
