Swarovski 115mm Objective Lens Module Overview

Representing the largest objective option in their line of modular spotting scopes, the Swarovski Optik ATX/STX/BTX 115mm Objective Lens Module will accept any of the three available eyepiece modules: straight (STX) or angled-viewing (ATX), or the binocular viewer (BTX). The bayonet mount for the eyepiece modules is backward compatible with the original ATX/STX modules, to make it easy for users to upgrade their objectives without needing a new eyepiece module. This extra-large objective, versus the 65mm, 85mm, and 95mm models, draws in more light and produces a larger exit pupil to improve its low-light capabilities and make it an invaluable companion from the pre-dawn hours to all the way past dusk.

Optically, Swarovski combines the legendary image quality and world-class workmanship that nature enthusiasts, tactical professionals, and researchers have come to expect from the brand. The 115mm objective strikes a nice balance between light-gathering ability and portability, making it well suited for the hunter, outdoor enthusiast, or birder. Extra-low dispersion fluoride glass elements efficiently transmit all wavelengths of visible light, resulting in bright images that are color faithful, crisp, and rich with detail. An integrated field-flattener lens system corrects spherical aberrations to reveal crisp details at the edges of the view without distortion. SWARODUR and SWAROTOP coatings on all lenses and prisms minimize glare while maximizing contrast.

Complementing the optical performance and technologies is a lightweight and durable magnesium-alloy chassis that is wrapped in a protective rubber armor. Its optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be dustproof, waterproof and submersible, and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature changes or environmental conditions. The tripod collar has a 1/4"-20 socket on the bottom of the Arca-Swiss-compatible shoe and a rotating collar to allow for precise eyepiece placement relative to the mounting system.

Optical Performance
  • Optional eyepiece module required: straight (STX) or angled (ATX) viewing and binocular viewer (BTX) available
  • Extra-large 115mm objective lens draws in more light than all other modules and produces a large exit pupil for improved low-light performance
  • Extra-low dispersion fluoride HD glass limits chromatic aberrations to produce clearer and sharper views with little or no color fringing
  • Field-flattener lens system eliminates spherical aberrations to eliminate distortion at the edges of the field of view
  • Anti-reflection SWAROTOP lens coatings reduce glare and improve contrast, color rendition, and clarity
  • Scratch-resistant SWARODUR coatings protect exterior lens surfaces
Use and Handling
  • Large focusing collar is easy to manipulate even when wearing gloves
  • Rotating tripod mount allow for precise eyepiece placement
  • M118x0.75 objective lens threads allows the use of polarizing or neutral-density filters to improve the view in challenging conditions such as when using on or near water or in the snow
  • Tripod shoe is compatible with Arca-Swiss quick release heads, so no additional plates or adapters are required
  • Standard 1/4"-20 socket on bottom of shoe if needed
Construction Details
  • Lightweight and impact-resistant magnesium-alloy housing
  • Rubber armor protects against impacts while providing a slip-resistant grip for more secure handling during setup and breakdown
  • SWAROCLEAN non-stick coating on exposed lens surfaces allows sap and oils to be easily cleaned for clearer views
  • Nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be dustproof, waterproof/submersible to 13', and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature changes or environmental conditions
  • Broad -13 to 131°F operating temperature range

Everything you would expect it to be

If you can afford it, get it! You won't be disappointed. Excellent clarity and light. Paired with the ATX, it get a little soft at 70x when looking at very long distances but I suspect that would be the case for any optics due to the air disturbances growing with distance. No regrets!

Serious Design Flaw, Plase Read!

The image quality is great, but so was the 95 mm lens I previously used, I am a huge Swarovski fan, but for the Arca type mount they used the exact same one they used for the 85 and 95 lenses. The 115 mm needs to be recalled, I cannot recommend this lens because it is big and bulky, overpriced lens that Swarovski needs to issue a recall to fix this major design flaw.

Which tripod head works with the 115mm scope?

Which tripod head works with the 115mm scope?
Asked by: Karen
Any head will work, but I strongly prefer a fluid head because it is stable like a gimbal, offers ease of movement like a ball head, and uses fluid resistance, which is smooth. To mount the scope to my fluid heads, I use a short Arca Swiss lens plate. I would avoid a ball head because the balance of the scope would be more difficult. A gimbal would work fine, but I think a fluid head is a better option.

How come the eyepieces magnification for 115 is ...

How come the eyepieces magnification for 115 is the same as for 95?
Asked by: Vlado
The magnification is the same because magnification is not dependent on objective lens diameter. The 95mm is much less weight which comes into play for transporting then the 115mm is much bigger but brighter.

Is this 115mm model compatible with the older ...

Is this 115mm model compatible with the older DH101 head as direct mount? Thanks.
Asked by: Zhanzhan
Hello, the 115mm objective module is compatible as a direct mount, however, it represents a significant amount of weight for the system. If the unit rotates on its axis while tilt tension is low, it could escape the lock if moving fast enough. The DH101 head was built to be lightweight and readily portable, but was introduced years before the 115's release. It will work, but I'd recommend caution.
