For every breast or jacket pocket, where they fit comfortably thanks to their pocket-size dimensions. The unusually high optical complexity (16 lenses!) for such small binoculars guarantees a large field of view, high-contrast image quality and brilliant images from the middle of the field to its edge. These precise instruments were distinguished with the Austrian National Award for tested quality. Less

Despite its lightweight, around 150 grams, the Makroskop features tough rubber armouring to protect against everyday wear and tear and along with a special sealing technique is internally purged with special Argon gas to not only minimise internal corrosion and prevent internal fogging during quick temperature or humidity changes, it also ensures that it remains waterproof in bad weather conditions and even in water down to 5 metres. For those who wear spectacles, the full field of view is visible due to the extended exit pupil. The twist-up/twist down eyecup is an important feature for both spectacle and non-spectacle wearing users. Less

Pros Bright and color correct Lightweight Quality Good accessories
Cons Expensive! Less depth of focus No lens caps (!)
Recommended it? Yes

I have been searching for some excellent quality small binoculars for some time and finally decided to bite the bullet and get a set. After researching the options for quite some time, I got down to the decision point. It was the Leica 10x25s versus the Swarovski equivalent. My benchmarks were... Read full review »

Excellent Compact binocular

byjchenry1 Mar 19, 2004
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Exceptional optical fidelity, compact size, uncompromising build quality.
Cons Expensive, but not more than other glasses at this quality level.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought these compact binoculars for travel use to be carried in my camera bag or in my coat pocket. I considered Nikon, Leica and Zeiss 10x25s before deciding on these. I would say that the Swarovskis are easily the equal of any other super premium compacts available. Color rendition, sharpness,... Read full review »

A good monocular marred by internal reflections

byold-and-tired Aug 13, 2007
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Sharp image. Usable with glasses.
Cons Image contrast is marred by strong internal reflections. Touchy focus.
Recommended it? No

Image quality:

The Macroscope's image definition is very high in the center of the field. Definition is very good out to about 50% of the field width, and is less beyond that. Much of this is because of field curvature, and so is probably more apparent to me than to someone younger whose... Read full review »

Pros Size, Optics, Tripod Mount, Good Minimum Focus length.

Recommended it? Yes

Brief Summary

I wish I didn’t have to give a recommendation here.  This is going to be a ‘love it or hate it’ product.  I love it, so I’m giving it a positive nod.  However, my very strong advice, is either test it out for yourself first, or if you buy... Read full review »
