Swarovski ATM-80 HD Spotting Scope
Swarovski Optik produces some of the world's finest optical designs and products. Their brilliant, innovative optical products & designs exemplify their commitment to uncompromising quality.
Swarovski's flagship-model spotting scope, the ATM-80 HD, delivers the same legendary high-performance viewing capabilities of its immediate predecessor, with a poignant twist - its housing is constructed from a lightweight yet extremely durable magnesium alloy.
Swarovski's HD optics nearly eliminates optical distractions such as color fringing and a lack of color-rendition. In fact - the optical refinements of the ATM-80 HD result in what one might call an outdoor viewing-nirvana. Scoping with the ATM-80 HD reveals a field of view with intricately-patterned subjects with crisp delineation - something enthusiastic birders will greatly appreciate.
An important consideration for hikers and digiscopers is the fact that despite this spotting scopes impressive profile and viewing capabilities, its weight remains just under 3 lb/1.4 kg - a not-so-simple feat of manufacturing that is due in part to this fine optic's rugged yet lightweight magnesium housing.

Comments about Swarovski ATM-80 HD Spotting Scope:
I use the spotting scope to watch animals at long range. The resolution and lack of chromatic aberrations is amazing. I almost bought the straight version, and now I am glad I did not. I find the angled version a lot more flexible in the viewing options.
Pros

Comments about Swarovski ATM-80 HD Spotting Scope:
This scope is everything it is advertised to be. The clarity and ease of use are spectacular. I use the scope primarily for wildlife viewing. The scope provides clear images of deer, mountain sheep, and elk that are over one-half mile from my home. I am seeing things that were not visible with my lower quality scope.
