New Dachstein ED 16-50 x 66

Bresser are proud to introduce the very latest Dachstein ED 16-50x66 spotting scope. The Dachstein features high-quality optics made of ED glass and includes a stunning 10:1 focuser system creating a new high level spotting scope at an affordable price.

The scope's wide versatility, 16x to 50x magnification and high-eyepoint eyepiece combined with 66mm diameter front lens element, makes it ideal for Birdwatching, long range observation and target spotting with the emphasis on top quality views with a high level of convenience and portability.

ED glass optics

The addition of ED optics in the Dachstein insures ultimate colour fidelity, contrast and sharpness sets it above almost everything else on the market. ED, short for Extra low Dispersion, are expensive to produce but reduce the so called secondary spectrum to a minimum.

Versatile rotating mount

When used as a target spotter the scope can be rotated on its mount so that the shooter or archer can spot the fall of shot or arrow while still retaining a comfortable shooting position.

The scope is fully waterproof so it can be used in extreme weather conditions in perfect safety. The scope has a built-in sliding sun shade/dew shield to improve its performance when viewing into the light and protecting the front lens element of the scope `dewing up' as the temperature changes as when viewing at dawn or dusk.

Digi-scope ready

With it's ultra-light-touch high and low speed focus system the scope is ideal for digi-scoping allowing the user to take pictures with a digital camera through the eyepiece with the appropriate digital adapter (adapter not included).

Our comment

The Dachstein ED is without doubt the finest portable 66mm spotting scope we have ever seen under 10000 kr! The optical and mechanical build quality is very satisfying in look, feel and performance and can only be compared to scopes in the top level 10 000 kr class. It's not just the accumulation of nice touches like the large high eye-point eyepiece (making the telescope so comfortable to use) and the sliding glare shield. It's the big features that have been so well executed that really take your breath away. Like the two separate focus knobs that provide the 10:1 ratio fine and fast focus system. The knobs are both solid aluminium and feel superb in operation. The ED optics, too, are brilliant in every way.

At Stjärnhuset our experts have seen and used a lot of scopes and as a company we don't get impressed that easily but it would be hard for us to exaggerate the quality and performance of this easily portable 66mm spotting scope - it is quite simply stunning and is, we think, the finest 66mm spotting scope we have ever seen at anything like this price.
