It's a very well build binocular and optics are absolutely impressive. But there is no Swift exactly the same as the Prismatic. Īnd I have to say that the Prismatic has many details which are pointing to the older Swift models like the Audubon, Saratoga, Skipper. And the most related binocular was a Carton 7 x 50 Audubon. On a Dutch Astronomy forum we came far to find more info about Prismatic. One of those is a Carl Zeiss Jena 10 x 50 Jenoptem. The quality of the Prismatic is well enough to put it easily in this list and keep all my other binoculars (23 or 24) behind. A few other binoculars I own are the Nikon 7 x 50IF SP, Swift 7 x 50 Stormking, Ednar 6 x 42, William Optics 10 x 50 ED. Optical performance of the Prismatic is pretty good and after a couple days this is already one of my favorite binoculars. But after my first look I knew that I was wrong. Nothing special, only a 7 x 50 wide angle. When I saw it on a Dutch selling site I was expecting a very average binocular. I bought it for 15 euros and after a cleaning job (in- and outside) it looks like new. I hope that somebody knows more about the Prismatic 7 x 50. A lot of information about binoculars I'm getting from this forum but never registered. I'm new on BirdForum and a collector of binoculars.
