The Swarovski 8x56 SLC Binocular is optimised for viewing over long distances or low light conditions, delivering bright and clear high-contrast views. The combination of moderate magnification and large objectives produces a wide apparent angle of view, long eye relief, and ultra-wide exit pupil.
Its phase-corrected Abbe-Koenig roof prisms and extra-low dispersion fluoride HD glass, plus the proprietary SWAROTOP, SWAROCLEAN, and SWARODUR lens coatings, all work together to deliver the exceptional observational experience that Swarovski is well known for.
The Swarovski 8x56 SLC Binocular is designed to withstand a lifetime of use in the hardest conditions. For a more comfortable handling position, the Abbe-Koenig prisms allow for thinner optical tubes, and are evenly distributed to make the SLC more centre balanced, making for a more comfortable handling experience. The chassis is made from a lightweight and durable magnesium alloy wrapped in protective slip-resistant rubber armouring.
All optical tubes are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed, making them waterproof up to 4 meters. Further, this assists in preventing internal fogging in extreme environmental conditions and temperature changes.
Optical Performance
The Swarovski 8x56 SLC Binocular features a magnification of 8x while preserving field of view, exit pupil, and eye relief. The large 56mm objective diameter allows the maximum amount of light gathering for viewing over longer distances and in dim light conditions.
Abbe-Koenig roof prisms create reduced internal diffraction as opposed to conventional roof prisms. This creates brighter images and they are they feature a more comfortable grip with thinner optical tubes.
Extra-low dispersion fluoride HD glass limits chromatic aberrations to produce clearer and sharper views with little or no colour fringing.
Swarovski Technologies
- SWAROTOP: Anti-reflection lens coatings that are index matched to the glass reduce light loss to just 0.2%
- SWAROCLEAN: External lens coatings make it easy to clean off insect repellents, water marks, and other residue without smudges or smears
- SWARODUR: Protective scratch-resistant lens coating prevents damage from chemical elements such as hand perspiration, condensation, gun oils, and insect repellents
Use and Handling
The Swarovski 8x56 SLC Binocular features a closed bridge design that offers a solid and steady platform for internal focusing. The large centre-focussing wheel is non-slip and is well-suited for use in colder weather conditions or while wearing gloves.
You will find +/- 5 right eye dioptric correction with locking adjustment integrated into the focusing wheel. Both eyecups feature a twist-up design for comfortable use with or without eyewear (eyecups are replaceable).
