Enjoy the viewing comfort of a wide-angle eyepiece across the entire magnification range with the Swarovski Optik 25-50x W eyepiece. Compatible with ATM/STM and ATS/STS spotting scopes, the eyepiece covers the most common settings in birdwatching--including close-in detailed observation--while also letting you scan the entire terrain from a longer distance. The eyepiece is equipped with a unique optical system with a spherical lens, providing an edge-to-edge viewing experience in sharp detail. The wide-angle design, meanwhile, lets you take photos through your spotting scope of both flocks and individual species, depending on your magnification setting. And thanks to the eyepiece's automatic quick-lock attachment system, you can secure the eyepiece in place even when you're on the move.
The eyepiece also features a built-in glass cover that protects against dust and dirt even when the eyepiece is removed. Users will also love the bayonet connector, which makes it easy and quiet to change the eyepiece. Finally, the lens includes a nonstick Swaroclean coating on the outer surface, which makes it considerably easier to clean objective and eyepiece lenses. The coating--which helps extend the lifespan of your lens--is particularly effective when you need to remove dried-on mineral residues (such as water marks from condensation), insect repellents, and tree resin. Suitable for use with all Swarovski Optik adapters, the 25-50x W eyepiece weighs only 10.4 ounces and carries the company's legendary lifetime warranty.
About Swarovski Optik Although founded in 1949, Swarovski Optik's roots actually trace all the way back to 1895, when Austrian Daniel Swarovski--who invented the world's first electric grinding machine for jewelry stones--established the family-owned Swarovski Crystal in the province of Tyrol. Since then, the name Swarovski has become synonymous worldwide with the clearest crystal, precision grinding, and a brilliant spirit of innovation, as the original enterprise continued branching out into additional lines of business.
Swarovski Optik owes its rise to Wilhelm Swarovski, son of the original founder and an avid hobby astronomer, who decided to build his own improved binocular in 1935 at a mere 17 years of age. With access to the specialized glass production and finishing technologies already used to manufacture jewelry stones in his father's factory, Wilhelm managed to develop a novel prism fabrication and grinding process that he applied in constructing his first 6x30 binocular. Wilhelm went on to found Swarovski Optik KG in Absam, Tyrol, in 1949, thus laying the foundation for a sports optics company with a global reputation. His company's first serial product, the Habicht 7x42, is still an industry standard in the field of hunting optics and continues to be produced in the best tradition of its founder.

I have been researching spotting scopes for over a year. After reading countless reviews, I finally settled on the Swarovski 80 ATM HD. The reputation of Swarovski as the best led me to start my search for a spotting scope with them.
I was able to do a side by side comparison of the 25-50X wide angle and the 20-60X eye-pieces at a Cabelas near my house. The zoom on both were great. I did not think the extra 10x magnification would be as valuable to me as the much larger field of view in the 25-50X wide angle eye-piece, so I ended up buying the wide angle 25-50X eye-piece.
My first use of the scope in the field was a hunting trip for coyotes. We didn't shoot any coyotes that day, but we sure observed a lot. We watched a pack of 4 coyotes at 450 yards away (Leica rangefinder) for about 15 minutes. Detail was amazing. The behavior we observed was amazing. 50X magnification means that they appeared to be 9 yards away (450 yards/50x = 9 yards). Even though...Read more

This is an excellent, high quality eye piece. I have mine attached to an Swarovski ATM 80 HD spotting scope and the views are spectacular. At 50x zoom I was easily able to read a highway sign that was a mile and a quarter away! And I am talking about seeing the entire sign which has to be 25', 30' wide! Clear as day! With this eyepiece, you are seeing detail in objects a mile or 2 miles away that can't even be seen with the naked eye. I focussed in on a water tower that was at least 2 miles away.....through the naked eye, you could only see the tower. through the scope, you could make out the image of a hawk sitting atop the water tower....2 miles out!
Combined with the Swarovski ATM 80HD,,,,you literally gain a "super power"....the ability to see things well beyond the range of the human eye is something that you have to experience to understand. Amazing!
