[Neoprene] Fits perfectly.

[Neoprene] I was looking for a small scope that i could carry while out birding and taking oictures This is perfect. Small light and optically excellent its fits my needs to a T. Simply perfect

[0.19 lb] This is my first scope. I held off buying one all these years because I didn't want to carry a heavy awkward scope on my birding walks. When this one and the Kowa came out I started seriously considering this fairly expensive purchase. Based on reviews I was leaning towards the Kowa, but when I handled both in the store the Swarovski was just so much easier to focus and a pleasure to handle. The optics are incredible! I took it on a bird walk with 9 other people and they were all impressed and asking me about it. I've taken it out about 4 times now and carried it on my tripod for my regular ~2 mile morning walk and have had no trouble at all. Altogether the weight is ~4.5 pounds. After my car and my apartment, this is probably the most expensive thing I've purchased for myself and I have no regrets. It is small and lightweight enough that I won't think twice about regularly taking it on bird walks. I expect to enjoy this scope for a very long time!

[0.19 lb] An excellent product, that is extremely convenient and does an excellent job of protecting the scope. All of my experiences with BHPHOTO have been very positive. Orders are processed very efficiently and product has always been delivered on time. Highly recommended.

[0.19 lb] The SOC case is beautifully designed and made - from the lens cups which hold themselves off to the side when desired to the way that the carry straps attach - sturdy and beautiful. Thanks. DB from Eden VT.

[Neoprene] Easy to fit on the scope, and easy to use in the field. The case allows quick access to the scope without removing the front or rear lens covers, just detach a few snaps and the covers hang on out of the way. Has a carrying strap that can be slung over a shoulder and full access to the focusing ring. The only negative is the price - but you get what you pay for.

[0.19 lb] This case provides good protection to the scope. You can quickly and easily remove the lens covers, and rotate them to one side and snap them into place. It is much faster and easier to work the snaps instead of zippers on an older model of the case.The biggest disadvantage is the price. At $$on every web site I saw, the price seems way too high. But I paid it, because it was the only cover I saw with both a carry strap and easy to remove lens covers.

[Neoprene] I love the Swaro ATC 17-40x56mm scope for bird watching. It has several advantages compared to my large scope the Swaro ATX 25-60x85mm. First, the ATC zoom magnification starts at 17X. This means you get a very wide field-of-view making it much easier to get on a bird quickly. For instance, if you are watching loons or grebes and they are constantly diving, you have to get on target very quickly before the bird dives again. I can get on target faster with the ATC than my big scope with higher starting magnification and much narrower field of view. Second, I rarely use the highest power magnification in my big scope due to heat waves and the very slight decline in clarity, combined with the common problem of wind and image shake. So 40X magnification from the ATC is adequate for most of my birding. Third, the ATC let's in plenty of light and the image quality is outstanding. The clarity and color and image vibrancy is as good or better compared to my larger ATX scope. Fourth, the scope is very light making it easy to carry on my shoulder with the Swaro Compact Carbon tripod. Also, since the tripod is so much heavier than the scope, there is very little image shake in mild wind. In summary, the ATC 17-40x56 is now my go-to scope that I use all the time. I love it. I still find it hard to believe that such a high performance scope can be so small.

[Neoprene] Excellent product and service, I meet my expectations.

Thanks for all.

[Neoprene] Perfect fit!
