5.0 out of 5 starsMy current favorite binoculars
By A photographer on December 23, 2008
I've had these binoculars for over one year. I use them mainly for birding. My previous binoculars were my almost 25 year old Leitz Trinovid 10x40's. The Trinovids were excellent binoculars in their day but they are definitely getting long in the tooth. I'll keep them because, let's face it, I'll never be able to afford the current Leica binoculars.

I tried several brands before settling on the Swift Audubon roof prisms. What I found was that some binoculars excel in some areas but fall short in others. Of those I tried, the Audubons were the most comfortable to use with good depth of field, brightness and sharpness. Oddly, the Audubons do not really seem to excel in any area--they simply provide a combination of attributes that make them pleasant to use.

I give these binoculars my highest recommendation. Unfortunately, the only way to tell if a binocular fits your vision and handling characteristics is to try them. That's impossible when ordering online so be sure to order from a place like Amazon--a place that will take them back if they don't work for you.

5.0 out of 5 starsQuality optics made in Japan
By J. Ray on November 29, 2011
Verified Purchase
General Impressions:
I've used these binoculars for nearly two years in the field and for use as a student in two birding classes. I carry them on hikes for a closer look at birds I'm trying to photograph. Even after several months of regular use these field glasses continue to offer firm and precise adjustments and have held up well. As far as I can tell, they are no different than the day I received them from Amazon in 2009.

Adjustments:
Rotating eye cups adjustments for use with or without your regular glasses. The body tubes have textured rubber grips that make a firm grip possible and add to the secure feel of these binoculars. The focusing ring was stiff at first, but after a month of steady use this adjustment became easier without becoming 'loose.' There is a dampener that allows the body tube adjustment to separate smoothly while remaining stiff enough not to allow your setting to drift together or apart during use.

Transporting/Carrying Case(s):
Swift includes a very nice soft leather carrying case that comes with a shoulder strap. However, since I do not enjoy having anything around my neck, shoulder or swinging around my torso when I am hiking I needed to find a more convenient and comfortable solution to safely tote my binoculars. The Swift case has a belt loop on the back of the pouch but it is fixed and can not be opened to attach to a pack or at alternate locations on a photographer's technical belt such as Lowepro sells. I decided on the Lowepro SlipLock Pouch 30 for a perfect fit. I modified the Lowepro pouch by using a craft knife to cut off the drawstring hood located under the flap. Now I can open and draw out my binoculars with ease and have minimized the possibility of scaring the subject away.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsLook no further!
By T. Laubenthal on January 2, 2009
I have worked on microscopes as part of my career as a geologist. Because of this I have gotten quite particular about optical equipment quality. But I'm also thrifty enough to realize that although the $1K-level binculars as offered by Zeiss, Leitz, Swarovski are absolutely top shelf...I'm not trying to find a bighorn sheep a mile away in between glacial crags...I'm doing local birding and deer hunting within 300 yards. So I spent many hours researching the various price/quality levels..on the web and at local shops (I found very few shop hands that knew much in detail about binoc optics). After a narrowing down to a few options I purchased the Swift Audubon. I'm very happy with this item. At this price level I don't think you will find better optical quality. Diopter correction is easy to set, the focus is fast enough for birding, and the light gathering at dusk/dawn is excellent. Going light is good...but if something is very light, it'll be mostly plastic/composites and it'll be less likely to take a few knocks...so don't get swayed only on weight. I find these to be easy to carry and the construction is substantial enough to take normal field abuse. Buy them...you'll like 'em.

5.0 out of 5 starsFine optics at an affordable price
By Dr. DH Bennett on January 1, 2008
Verified Purchase
The Swift 8.5 x 44 HHS Audobons are fine birding binoculars at an affordable price. They offer a clear, sharp image without going to the price extremes of the three big brands. They are easy to use, although the focus wheel could be larger for easier use. The rubber armoring gives them a solid feel in the hand without being excessively heavy. The 8.5 magnification is just right for birding. It is not so big that it becomes hard to hold the image steady as is the case with 10s for me. The 44 front optic allows a great field of vision and plenty of light for dawn and dusk birding. They are also nitrogen purged. I am delighted with them. They were reviewed by Better View Desired, which is where I learned about them.

5.0 out of 5 starsSwift Audubon HHS exceedingly clear image
By Vicki D. Dern on October 19, 2007
Verified Purchase
I did some research and ordered three top-rated binoculars, 8 x 42, in the $300 range. Spent an hour or so outdoors with all three pairs. The Swift Audubon HHS had much crisper and brighter image than either the Nikon Monarch or the Eagle Optics Ranger 8 x 42. As with all things, there are some trade-offs. The Nikon and Eagle models were a few ounces lighter, enough to make a difference in comfort. Both models also have a much closer focus. The Audubon only focusses down to about 9 ft. I really wanted to like the Nikon better because of the weight and the close focus, but in the end the image was so superior in the Audubon HHS that was the choice I made. They're actually 8.5 x 44 and that small increase in magnification does make a difference. I'd been using 10 x 50's and loved the larger image but found them difficult for tracking birds because of the constant need for fine-tuning the focus.

Works as advertised. Great for birding but I could use a bit more magnification for long distance viewing. All in all a good compromise of power, range and weight
