Swarovski's newest eyepiece design, the 25-50x W Wide Angle Zoom Eyepiece, is a rugged, light, and brilliant performer meant for a lifetime of faithful service. This distinguished ocular has a complex 9-element aspherical optical formula which provides a 2x zoom (25-50x magnification with Swarovski's 65mm & 80mm scopes). Unlike nearly every other zoom on the market, though, the W 25-50x maintains a wide apparent field of view across its entire range. It nearly eliminates the need for a second eyepiece of fixed magnification, providing almost the same experience of wider viewing at every stop along its range.
Swarovski uses proprietary water-repelling coatings to keep this premium eyepiece clean and like new for years, and their "Swarotop" coatings are known in the sport optics world for delivering bright, life-like, true fidelity to your subject. The helicoid-type eyecup design, with 17mm of constant eye relief, accommodates those with and without eyeglasses alike. Perhaps best of all, this eyepiece's field of view is always wide and flat-field-focused, meaning that you'll be hard pressed to find a better performer for digiscoping than this one. Use the DCB brackets for your point and shoot, or the DCA adapter for your SLR combined with a standard lens.

Comments about Swarovski 25-50x W Wide Angle Zoom Eyepiece:
Had been using the 45X Wide eyepiece before but this item has now been discontinued. When I got my new Swarovski scope, this was an obvious choice for me. Have always preferred a wide-angle eyepiece over the standard zoom due to wider field of view and easier location of subjects and now to have this luxury with zoom functionality is simply awesome. Highly recommended and typical Swarovski quality.

Comments about Swarovski 25-50x W Wide Angle Zoom Eyepiece:
Primarily use this for spotting big game and digiscoping big game. Wide angle provides better field of view. Also use 20 X 60 and 20 power but like this the best. Needs very stable tripod at higher powers (>30)
