Blank size refers to the diameter of a lens before being cut to fit a frame, and is always measured in millimeters. Common blank sizes range from 45mm to 80mm, though glass lenses are usually maximum 70mm. Smaller blank sizes result in thinner lenses. To order a blank size, one needs the frame PD, patient PD, and widest part of the frame rim. The difference between patient and frame PD determines lens decentration, and this value plus the rim width and glazing allowance determines the required blank size. Induced prism can occur intentionally for correction or unintentionally due to errors, and is calculated as the dioptric power multiplied by the decentration in centimeters.
This document discusses several special types of lenses used in optometry, including lenticular lenses, aniseikonic lenses, aspheric lenses, and Fresnel lenses. Lenticular lenses have a central aperture ground to the needed power surrounded by a peripheral carrier. Aniseikonic lenses address differences in image size between the eyes. Aspheric lenses have non-uniform curvature across the surface to correct aberrations and produce thinner lenses. Fresnel lenses use concentric prismatic sections like lighthouse lenses. High index materials and varifocal lenses are also summarized.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

1 SEEING AND
PRESERVING BEAUTY
Welcome to the world of SWAROVSKI OPTIK. We consider ourselves very lucky to
manufacture products that bring people closer to the beauty of nature. But we are also very
well aware that we can only enjoy unforgettable visual experiences if our environment is
intact and the biodiversity of flora and fauna is preserved. Therefore, every action we take is
guided by the thought of showing nature the utmost appreciation and saving resources.

SWAROVSKI OPTIK UNDER THE SCOPE
INSPIRED BY
TYROLEAN TRADITION
Our staff numbering more than 800 are greeted every day by this spectacular mountain
panorama. We strongly believe that customers who opt for a top-class quality product
take particular care about where and how it is manufactured. This is why the company
and production site is of paramount importance to us, and why there is a definite
commitment to this location, set in the midst of the most magnificent Tyrolean mountain
range. As a family firm, we act with a large measure of responsibility toward our customers,
workforce, the region, as well as future generations. SWAROVSKI OPTIK takes the long
view on this because we’re not thinking just about the next five or ten years, but about
future generations.
SUSTAINABILITY WITH
RESPONSIBILITY
Anyone who is surrounded by such natural beauty, like we are at SWAROVSKI OPTIK,
must realize that they also have some responsibility toward it. Sustainability is already
a strong feature of our company’s business. All our products are intended to encourage
people to experience nature, to appreciate its value, to commune with it, and to ensure
its continuity. We comply with the most stringent requirements and highest standards
in order to care for the environment in our production processes.

SWAROVSKI OPTIK UNDER THE SCOPE
BUILT ON
COURAGE
Our ultimate objective is to never stop surprising people with our products, just as we
have successfully done very recently with the first modular ATX/STX spotting scope. At
SWAROVSKI OPTIK the courage of the team is what counts. To be able to offer innovative
products, you need to constantly go to the furthest possible limits, deliberately allow time
for developments, and take new paths. It is important for us on the Executive Board to
foster this kind of climate. After all, as has shown to be the case in the past, this is what
generates the best ideas.

SWAROVSKI OPTIK UNDER THE SCOPE
QUALITY IS
PRICELESS
Any product bearing the SWAROVSKI logotype and hawk symbol
has undergone countless hours of development, production, and
quality control. The concept of quality extends for us far beyond
the purely technical aspects, and always encompasses the whole
package: outstanding optics, functionality, ergonomics, design,
and service – all of which must be perfectly harmonized. On the
other hand, the value of an object always becomes apparent only
in its everyday use. The crucial factor for us is that customers like
to and often use our high-precision products, take sheer delight
in using them for many years, and then perhaps even pass them
on with pride to the next generation. For most people, these are
precisely the reasons why they choose SWAROVSKI OPTIK:
because they know that it is an investment for life.

SWAROVSKI OPTIK UNDER THE SCOPE
TREATING EACH OTHER
WITH CONSIDERATION
At SWAROVSKI OPTIK we treat each other with consideration and respect. This is evident not only
from our daily interactions with each other, but also from the way in which we establish and maintain
external partnerships. Our understanding of quality must be supported by our suppliers and business
partners alike. We obviously set this benchmark for our products as well, which is why service and
maintenance are highly valued within the company. We have only done a good job if you gain even
more intense enjoyment from precious moments, thanks to your SWAROVSKI OPTIK product.

SWITCHING
BETWEEN
ADRENALIN AND
CONCENTRATION
DRIVEN HUNT
There is a deceptive quietness at the start. As is well known,
anticipation brings the greatest enjoyment. The hope that the
prey is caught in the drive and approaching us is as great as
the tension. But, because there is only a small amount of time
between sighting the prey and taking a shot, a driven hunt
requires a high level of hunting prowess.
DRIVEN HUNT
18. SWAROVSKI OPTIK20
A
loud crackling sound can
be heard from the under-
growth. Thoughts are racing
through your head. You
pause for breath briefly as,
all of a sudden, the prey approaches. Now
every fraction of a second counts, to make
the right decision and get the shot on target.
There is no question that a driven hunt is one
of the biggest challenges in hunting. It is a form
of hunting that never ceases to challenge hunt-
ers’ abilities – even the most experienced. It’s
about pure adrenalin, total concentration, and
skill. Safety is an absolute must in driven hunts.
There are many hunters, beaters, and dogs in the
forest. Discipline is required, which means that
the instructions from the hunt leader must be
followed to the letter. Hunters must study closely
the position that they have been assigned, which
they don’t know beforehand. This happens, in
most cases, when they are about to take them
up. For instance, where are the neighboring
marksmen located? What direction is the drive
coming from? Where will the prey first be sighted?
Where can a shot on target be taken? This is
where the rifle scope also comes into play. Which
magnification is the right one to begin with? Good
preparation contributes to the success of a driven
hunt. This also involves selecting the right firearm
and rifle scope, as well as having safe control over
them at the crucial moment. Catching sight of an
(extremely) quick target raises just about every-
one’s stress levels. It is particularly important to
focus completely on the moment because the
unexpected can happen at any time.
Every type of prey has its own flight behavior
pattern. Knowing about this and anticipating it
at the right moment pose the biggest challenges
for marksmen during a driven hunt. It is specifi-
cally these numerous different factors – coming
together in only a brief moment – that make the
driven hunt a special activity, contributing most
of all to the tension it generates.
19. SWAROVSKI OPTIK 21
LEAD DISTANCE
APP
You can make additional preparation for a driven hunt. Using the
new lead distance app, you can familiarize yourself better with
the lead distances for a good shot at a rapidly moving target, which
are often underestimated. This app is available for you to download
from the App Store and Google Play.

OVERVIEW
Made from aluminum, the SLP-O-24 scope lens protector
provides objective lenses with excellent protection against all
weather conditions. It can be rotated through 360° and opened
in any direction, making it ideal for both right-handed and
left-handed marksmen. It fits all SWAROVSKI OPTIK rifle scopes
with 24-mm objective lenses. Other models are available for
42-, 44-, 50-, and 56-mm objective lenses.
SLP-O-24
SCOPE LENS PROTECTOR
One of the biggest challenges with driven hunts is hitting
moving targets reliably even through narrow gaps in the trees.
The Z6i 1-6x24 rifle scope is excellently equipped to deal with
this. Its outstanding 42.5 m (127.5 ft) field of view provides the
necessary overview, while the 6x magnification means all the
details are visible so that you can sight your prey accurately.
This rifle scope is also ideal to use when shooting over medium-
range distances during driven hunts.
A COMPLETE VIEW
A better feeling for what is going on around you thanks to the
large field of view with 1x magnification. On the other hand,
a 6x magnification allows you to sight your prey better.

MY HUNT OF
A LIFETIME
Another 4am start, another western adventure to
start the season. This adventure, however, was different.
This one started twelve long years ago when I first
started applying for Montana mountain goats. Each year
I would calculate draws and put in for them religiously,
only to get that dreaded “Unsuccessful.”
SPECIAL FEATURE:
WHITE GHOST
STEVE TITTSWORTH
SPECIAL FEATURE: WHITE GHOST
27. SWAROVSKI OPTIK 29
WELL,THIS YEAR I WAS IN
FOR A SURPRISE!
After twelve years of applying and twelve years
of hoping – and a slightly different draw result
– I finally had one of the most coveted tags
in the west. All this culminated in a 31-hour
and 3,452-km (2,145 mile) journey to what
promised to be the pinnacle of my hunting
career so far.
You know, driving from one side of the coun-
try to the other gives a guy plenty of time to
think – and second guess. Had I prepared
myself enough physically? Was my gear up
to the test? I’ve been on lots of hunts, but
this was different. I didn’t want to
leave anything to chance. Did I have
everything that I would need? Which
gun would I carry?
And then there was the smoke.
Our hunting area in Montana had
been inundated with forest fires
this summer. Would it clear in time?
Would we even be able to film?
I didn’t have the answers to a lot
of those questions, but I knew one
thing: this is my hunt.
THE DAY I HAD BEEN
LOOKING FORWARD
TO ALL MY LIFE WAS
FINALLY HERE.
With one last check of the gear, we were on
our way into my mountain goat unit. It was
finally time to climb, and climb we did. It didn’t
take long to find some goats – but little did
we know at the time this was only going to be
a small part of the challenge. This is because
I’m sure that there are more up there, but it
isn’t going to do us any good tonight, due to
the descending darkness. During pre-scouting
in the summer, we also talked with a biologist
for this region, who told us exactly where to
start. We were actually there last night and
saw four or five, no billies though. Although
we’ve got a pretty good idea of where they are.
A beautiful morning! Even though it looks like it’s
flattened out, we’ve gained a lot of elevation.
There are places here that go up to 3,300 meters
(11,000 ft). Although we are not at the top, we
are really high. We are just banking on being
able to spot something before we put
a stalk on. With a lot of these things, it’s going to
take a day to get to them. We’re not going to just
take off arbitrarily unless we’ve seen something
we can hunt. It’s going to be a lot of work.
It was time to start up. We had spotted one
mature mountain goat last night. So, we planned
a route that looked achievable and headed up.
Gaining only a couple of hundred yards in an
hour was taxing; we had expected this but
hadn’t factored in just how much time it would
take to reach our target. Lots of breaks were in
order. Having dreamed of hunting these things
for years, seeing them in a spotting scope was
almost surreal. Especially when I had a tag in my
pocket. Too short on time tonight, so it doesn’t
make any difference. They are a day away.
We’ve got a few hours left. Let’s keep moving.
These first couple of days were filled with sight-
ings. But even with tons of miles on our boots
already we realized pretty quickly that we were
going to have to go even higher. The area we
were hunting in was in the form of a canyon
with sheer faces on both sides. There wasn’t
a “long way” around. We were going to have
to find a way to go straight at them from below.
These are probably two of the shallowest
ways to the top, or at least to get near the
top. We’ll just have to try it, and if we can’t
make it we’ll just have to go back down and
try a different direction.
AND DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY
THIS IS WHAT WE DID.
We’d make three- and four-hour climbs to
the top only to find out that the goats had
disappeared. You know Teddy Roosevelt
referred to them as the “white ghosts.”
I was starting to understand that it didn’t
have anything to do with their color.
That is awesome! You know some people
scoff at hunters. But anyone who was
ever here inevitably thinks of the quote
from Fred Bear saying: “Twenty feet up
a tree is twenty feet closer to God.” This
is unbelievable! Beautiful!
We climbed up here to the top again this
morning, trying to get on the herd we
have been seeing. We actually saw them
from the very top of the mountain on the other
side yesterday. I just spotted a couple of nice
ones over there and it looks like one of those
could be a billy, but no human in the world
could get to where they are.
I always assumed that getting this tag would
be the hardest part. After all, only 5% of non-
residents who apply ever get one. It never really
crossed my mind that I might not get my goat,
but as we wound down to the last days this
was slowly becoming a reality. After one iron-
man climb to the top and back, we were out of
gas. Yet we turned up the hill every morning
SPECIAL FEATURE: WHITE GHOST
28. SWAROVSKI OPTIK30
anyway. But now our feet were bloody and our
muscles made it hard to walk on flat ground,
let alone climb these hills. I wouldn’t have
had it any other way, though; I wanted to earn
my mountain goat. That’s why I was doing
this one on my own. But don’t worry, it’s not
over yet. I have a deer hunt I can cancel next
month to come back. If winter doesn’t show
up before we can get back, we’ll have one
more crack at it.
ONE MONTH LATER
The goat gods must have been
smiling on us. Winter was late to
the high country this year, but it
was coming hard. We were a few
days in front of a winter storm,
so after a quick gun check, we
were straight off to the mountain.
There’s no other place on earth
that you can see something like
that – a huge flock of snow geese!
We’re at about 2,500 meters
(8,000 ft) and the peaks you can
see on the other side are about
3,000 meters (10,000 ft). They
are almost at eye level coming
across, it’s amazing! After all
we had put ourselves through
on the first trip, look what we
found less than a mile from the
truck! Things were looking up
already. We’ve spotted two up
there already, we just want to take a walk
and give it a check out, we really don’t have
time to climb today. We’ve got two up there
– about 550 meters (600 yards) from here.
They’re actually moving around in the green
timber, so I can’t tell exactly what they are.
We’re going to stick with them, though, just
in case something great happens and they
come down to a spot where we might be
able to retrieve them.
We’ve got weather coming in tomorrow. It
looks like winter is finally going to show up out
here. It’s going to be in the thirties Fahrenheit
and snowing for the next four or five days
according to the forecast and I don’t know
what’s beyond that. It’s been holding out for
quite a while out here and it looks like it’s
going to hit. The sooner we can get something
done, the better chance we are going to have.
Keep your fingers crossed!
SECOND MORNING
Let’s get right out here, drop back, and set up
somewhere. I’m trying to keep my eye out. If
they look like they are getting really nervous,
we are going to stop right here. Look, just one
more corner!
That’s a fine goat. One limb over this goat’s
vitals saved his life. He slowly moved over
the spine and he was gone. A huge wave
of disappointment washed over us until we
realized that we had another goat on this
side of the face.
There he is! I’ll try to shoot that thing right now!
[gun shot] He’s going down, right there!
This is something else. I just got to thinking,
on the trail on the way out, about all the highs
and the lows of this trip and the trip before.
A whole goat season, really. It was one of the
hardest things I’ve ever done but obviously
one of the most rewarding too. I mean, I’m
truly blessed to be able to get this. I thank
God for having the health and the opportu-
nity. I also want to thank my wife
and my family for putting up with
my addiction to getting out here
and doing this stuff. They are just
absolutely as supportive as any-
body out there. What do you say?
This has been one heck of a trip;
physically exhausting, mentally
taxing! If you get a chance, you
have to try to do this.
This is absolutely the hunt
of a lifetime!

Long-range shooting has been enjoying growing popularity for years. The extensive
deployment of technology and the passion for precision are actually the main
motivations for marksmen. Increasingly sophisticated equipment and technologies
that only elite marksmen used to have access to are now also widely available to
competition marksmen.
These technical options facilitate long-range shooting with unprecedented precision.
At the same time, the difference between what is technically possible and what is
ethically acceptable also emphasizes the importance of a marksman’s sense of personal
responsibility. Competitions provide a good opportunity for marksmen to demonstrate
their expertise over long distances, while also honing their hunting skills. But what exactly
are the challenges posed by long-range shooting? On what aspects in particular should
keen marksmen focus?
THE CHALLENGE
OF LONG-RANGE
SHOOTING
LONG-RANGE SHOOTING
For hunters to be able to shoot accurately over long distances, they not only
require experience, but also knowledge of any influencing factors during long-
range shooting. You will only achieve the perfect hit if all the relevant natural
parameters have already been taken into account prior to firing the shot, and
also if your equipment, such as your firearm, ammunition, and of course optics,
can reliably deliver a top performance.
LONG-RANGE SHOOTING
35. SWAROVSKI OPTIK 37
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR A RIFLE SCOPE
Even during their preparations, every marksman and hunter must
realize that the rifle scope plays a key role in terms of accuracy. In this
case, absolute precision is required through a rugged design. This is
the only possible way to achieve an extremely high repeating accuracy,
which is of paramount importance in competitive situations. The X5/X5i
from SWAROVSKI OPTIK was designed to meet these requirements. All
the crucial parameters can be finely adjusted on the X5/X5i rifle scope’s
side and top turrets, which operate with absolute precision.
WATCHING OUT FOR WIND SPEED
Purely from a ballistics perspective, prevailing wind conditions are
one of the key factors that need to be taken into account for achieving
an accurate shot. As the wind has a crucial influence on the trajec-
tory, it is absolutely vital to estimate the wind speed correctly before
taking a shot. There are numerous options available for interpreting
the signs of nature. Experience also has a particularly important role
to play, as can the support provided by a spotting scope like the
STR 80 from SWAROVSKI OPTIK.
MEASURING RANGE AND ANGLE
A basic prerequisite for accurate shooting is to know the shooting
distance and the angle to the target. In this instance, it’s worth getting
hold of a pair of EL Range binoculars, equipped with an integrated
rangefinder with angle compensation, which will provide the neces-
sary data.
Ultimately, once all the preparations have been made, it is mainly
down to the skill and experience of the marksmen to configure the
correct settings on the X5/X5i based on the information supplied to
ensure they hit the target. But it is precisely this complex interaction
between weather conditions, technology and individual expertise that
gives long-range shooting its very special appeal.
36. SWAROVSKI OPTIK38
The X5/X5i rifle scope redefines accuracy. Its new spring retention
system and turrets provide you across the whole adjustment range
with an extremely accurate impact point adjustment from 1/4 or
1/8 MOA (model X5/X5i 5-25x56 P) in terms of both elevation and
windage – even in the most extreme weather conditions. To help you
hit close targets accurately, you can use the SUBZERO function to
go below the sight-in distance at any time.
Thanks to its optimum ruggedness from the steel components in
its turrets and the thick main tube walls, the X5/X5i’s repeatable
precision is impressive, even in the most extreme situations. Thanks
to its high image quality and high-contrast reticle, this rifle scope
also sets a new benchmark in terms of optical quality.
UNCOMPROMISING PRECISION. Using the accurate turrets and the
spring retention system, you can adjust the impact point to your
precise requirements.
EASY HANDLING. The intuitive operating features give you the
confidence to make the shot at the moment of truth.
CONSTANTLY BETTER. Thanks to its exceptional ruggedness from

on the parallax turret allow you to locate the normal parallax correction
and set it securely.

ELEVEN FASCINATING
FACTS ABOUT HUNTING
Hunting has captured the human imagination since time immemorial. It has inspired myths,
and yet it also provides hard data and facts that never cease to amaze us.
4000BC
Hunting dogs featured as traditional subjects in cave
painting and on Neolithic rock drawings. While initially
they were still depicted in an extremely abstract form,
they already appeared in the drawings from the ancient
advanced civilizations. The oldest Egyptian illustrations
feature the picture of a hunter with a bow and arrow, who
is leading four greyhound-type dogs on a leash. This work
is dated from 4000 BC. Later on, hunting dogs were also
depicted on coins, seals, firearms, and even pottery.
+50%The number of hunting license holders in Germany
has risen since the early 1970s by around 50%,
currently standing at more than 360,000.
Unlike in Europe where the red fox is portrayed in legends and fairy tales as
a particularly wily creature, in South-East Asia, this role is assigned to the Java
mouse-deer. With a shoulder height of a mere 20-25 cm (7.9-9.8 in), the
Java mouse-deer is definitely the smallest even-toed ungulate in the world.
43. SWAROVSKI OPTIK 45
86%
of young hunters in Germany
say that they take the hunting
exam because they like being
out and about in nature.
74% regard hunting as nature
conservation in practice.

HUNTING
IS SECOND
NATURE IN
THE NORTH
In northern Europe, where hunting is often a tough, but much more
intensive endeavor, game is a highly prized cooking ingredient. After hunting
together – often in the harshest conditions, which push both Man and
equipment to the limits – the meat is prepared at home and enjoyed among
family. This also gives hunting an important social function, according
to Ron Egly, a keen hunter and chef, who discussed this with
SWAROVSKI OPTIK.

HOW IMPORTANT IS HUNTING IN SWEDEN?
Ron Egly: There are more than 300,000 hunters in Sweden. Anyone
who owns their own land also has the right to hunt. Hunters generally
enjoy a good reputation, being seen as very responsible and well
educated. Another of the reasons for the high level of acceptance is
that hunters prepare the prey they have killed at home.
WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE IN
SWEDEN TO GO HUNTING?
RE: You can take part in a hunt either by invitation from a Swedish
hunter or as a paying guest of a landowner. Every hunter in Sweden,
including those from abroad, must also pay a fee for the protection of
the wild animals.
IN WHAT AREAS IS HUNTING CARRIED OUT
AND WHAT KIND OF PREY CAN BE
ENCOUNTERED THERE?
RE: I live in the north of Sweden, in a small town, not far outside Östersund.
This mountainous region is already above the tree line. We hunt there for
elks, brown bears, Wood Grouse, Willow Ptarmigan, Ptarmigan, as well
as deer. I also go hunting once a year in central Sweden. The conditions
are completely different in this area, and you can also expect far more
prey, such as wild boar, fallow deer, and red deer.
ARE THERE PLACES THAT YOU WOULD
RECOMMEND TO HUNTERS?
RE: I can definitely recommend the mountain ranges in the north. You
will find absolute quiet up there and an amazing harsh landscape that
really puts hunters through their paces. You come across the prey
less often and it is a more challenging place to hunt. There is nothing
easy about hunting in the mountains, but it’s worth the effort at the
end of the day.
WHAT KIND OF CHALLENGES DOES
THE EQUIPMENT FACE?
RE: When hunting in particular during the winter season and in the
mountains, some careful thought should be given about the equip-
ment to take for hunting as the weather can change completely within
five minutes. Snow is as much a possibility as a temperature drop of
15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit) in just one hour, which
can create dangerous situations. You should know the area well, follow
the maps, and not rely on the mobile phone network coverage. It is
very often better to go hunting in pairs, or at least tell other people
48. SWAROVSKI OPTIK50
where you’ve gone. And obviously, a good
pair of binoculars is essential. I personally use
EL Range binoculars from SWAROVSKI OPTIK
because they seem to be made for these
harsh conditions. The rifle scope too should
suit Scandinavian conditions and be ideal for
shooting over both short and long distances.
Therefore, I use a Z6i 2-12x50 with a ballistic
turret. I’m really thrilled with it, and I’d never
want to be without it.
WHAT KIND OF MARK
HAS HUNTING MADE ON
SCANDINAVIAN CUISINE?
RE: Game has a long tradition as an ingredient
in Scandinavian cuisine. Hundreds of years
ago, farmers and hunters actually used every
bite and bit of livestock and wild animals to
survive. These practices from the past have
left their mark and still influence today the
way in which we prepare food.
WHICH DISHES ARE
PARTICULARLY POPULAR?
RE: In my family we prepare roasts – cooked at
a low temperature – steaks, stews, as well as
a minced meat sauce for our pasta. Obviously,
I must also mention that Swedish meatballs
made from elk meat are extremely delicious.
WHICH CAME FIRST:YOUR
PASSION FOR HUNTING
OR FOR COOKING?
RE: I grew up in a house where hunting and
cooking were understood to be part and
parcel of life. I started off as a hunter, and my
interest in cooking and cuisine has gradually
grown. In my view, the perfect dinner starts
immediately after the kill because you must
handle game meat carefully as you need to
protect it from the heat and bacteria. But if
you do everything the right way, you will defi-
nitely end up with a wonderful dinner.

RON EGLY’S RECIPE
FOR EXTRA TENDER
ELK BRISKET
INGREDIENTS:
3-4 cuts of elk brisket
(alternatively brisket of beef)
2 onions
2 cloves of garlic
3 carrots
1 celeriac
1 leek
750 ml red wine
50 ml beef stock
50 ml chicken stock
10 whole white peppercorns
2 bay leaves
Butter, oil, salt, black pepper, thyme,
rosemary, water
Thyme sprigs for garnish
SERVED WITH: Brussels sprouts, mashed
potatoes
PREPARATION: Prepare the elk brisket by remov-
ing any excess fat and seasoning them with
salt and pepper. Heat some butter and oil in
a large frying pan, sear the elk brisket on both
sides at a high heat, then put them on a plate.
Finely chop the onions, garlic, carrots, cele-
riac, and leek, add them to a large pot, and
cook gently. Add the elk brisket to the vegeta-
bles in the pot, pour in the red wine, and add
thyme, rosemary, the white pepper corns, and
bay leaves. Then top up with the stocks and
some water until the meat is covered by liquid.
Leave the whole thing to boil, then let it simmer
at a moderate temperature for 4-5 hours.
Once the cooking time is over, carefully
remove the elk brisket from the mixture and
wrap them in tin foil. Strain the stock and
reduce to a sauce.
Then serve the tender brisket with the sauce,
mashed potatoes, and Brussel sprouts.

SWAROVSKI OPTIK’S DEVELOPMENT
L
imits are there to be exceeded. The best way of achieving this is to have the courage
to reinvent what is tried and tested. In the early 1990s, SWAROVSKI OPTIK adopted
this attitude and designed a new type of binoculars. Our “can-do” philosophy still
applies even today, which enables the company to set new standards when it comes
to observation. It means that surprising and, in many ways, revolutionary replies are given to
questions that arise any time we embark on a new development. So, when the point was raised,
“Wouldn’t it be great if binoculars could be designed to make them easier to hold in your hand
than they are right now?”, this gave rise in 1999 to the legendary EL wrap-around grip. The spec-
ification “How can we achieve the optimum crystal clear image?” gave rise in 2010, after inten-
sive research and development, to the trail-blazing SWAROVISION technology. And just recently,
users have challenged SWAROVSKI OPTIK with the specification: “We want even more viewing
comfort.” As a result of this, the FieldPro package has been produced in 2015, which is a further
enhancement to the overall package in terms of functionality and comfort. It also neatly fits in
with the elegant and innovative design of every model of the EL binoculars. It is the numerous
small details that make the difference and pave the way to perfection. This sets EL binoculars in
a class of their own, and is why they make their mark on history.
LIMITLESS
PERFECTION
A GRADUAL PATH
TO REVOLUTION
T
he initial spark for devising a completely new type of binoculars came in the 1990s
from nature lovers who told us what their wildest dreams were when it came to
observing nature. They clearly stated what they wanted: a lightweight and optimum
ergonomic design so that they could also observe over a lengthy period without
getting tired. They also wanted top optical quality to be able to make out the finest details; unique
color fidelity so that they could determine exactly what they were observing; a wide field of view
so that they could quickly catch sight of moving objects; maximum light transmission for observ-
ing during morning and evening time, or under cloudy skies; and total mechanical perfection.
These were precise specifications, which made their implementation challenging. However,
while tackling this task, the developers never lost sight of the big picture – ensuring the perfect
interaction between ergonomics, optics, and mechanics.
Every department at SWAROVSKI OPTIK gave this project their full attention. Innovative contribu-
tions were made across all departments, from the optical design and manufacturing technology
used to the quality assurance and marketing department’s involvement. The objective was
clearly defined: to produce binoculars that could be held like conventional binoculars using
a wrap-around grip but still be fitted with an interior focusing mechanism. In order to do this, the
focusing mechanism was moved to the housing arm, thus making the central axis redundant.
This is how the legendary EL wrap-around grip was invented. Even today it is regarded as the
benchmark for binoculars.
60. SWAROVSKI OPTIK62
W
hen EL binoculars first appeared in 1999, they
caused a real stir, with their groundbreaking design
concept winning several awards. These successes
brought numerous copycats onto the scene.
However, while they were still struggling to come up with a copy,
SWAROVSKI OPTIK was already thinking ahead and working on
a revolutionary optical design. And yet again, the source of the key
ideas was hunters and nature lovers, since they are the ones who
regularly use SWAROVSKI OPTIK products.
This is the purpose behind the company attending trade shows and
other events, in addition to many opinion-formers providing reports
based on their practical experiences. These extremely close customer
relations also have a positive impact on further developments, such as
the fact that lots of SWAROVSKI OPTIK staff actively use the products
themselves. This intense dialog between the company and its cus-
tomers gave rise to SWAROVISION technology, which again caused
a sensation in the optical equipment sector. Field flattener lenses pro-
duce an image that is razor-sharp right to the edge. The sophisticated
HD optics, which includes as one of its features fluoride-containing
lenses, minimizes interfering color fringing, while optimized lens and
prism coatings enhance color fidelity and facilitate cleaning. The larger
exit pupil distance also allows eyeglass wearers to enjoy the whole
field of view. Therefore, SWAROVSKI OPTIK has redefined optical and
mechanical limits. But EL binoculars symbolize considerably more
than the sum of numerous innovative solutions. They are complete
perfection. They offer a total package, carefully conceived in every
detail, which is what makes these binoculars so special.
The EL Range was developed in 2011. These are binoculars equipped
with conventional state-of-the-art optics and an integrated tilt sensor
and rangefinder, which, with their universally unique angle shot
program, deliver impressive results, especially when hunting on
steep terrain.

details has revolutionized comfort and functionality. Many ideas were
considered, from the rapid fitting of carrying straps to the smart attach-
ment of objective lens covers. Every detail fits seamlessly into the
revamped design that harmonizes the traditional shape with new
elements. Proven elements, such as the EL wrap-around grip, have
been kept, while the depressions for added grip have been slightly
adapted, and softer edges make the binoculars easier to hold.
Anyone who is familiar with SWAROVSKI OPTIK will know that this is
still far from being the end to its impressive development activities. The

MOUNTAIN HUNTING EXPERIENCE
It’s all about going to the limits of your resilience. Putting your heart and mind
into what you’re doing. Hunting in the mountains can command respect even from
experienced hunters. In the isolated mountain hunting grounds, nature always
has the upper hand. Two hunters, one young, the other older, set themselves this
challenge. What actually goes through their heads during the long ascent and
descent of the mountain, and the arduous hunt?
THE YOUNG HUNTER.
We’ve been on our feet since the early hours,
steadily climbing up. The whole thing reminds
me of one of my first hunting trips, which
wasn’t that long ago at all. Already while
ascending through the mountain forest, we
could hear the belling of the deer. I looked
through my binoculars at the opposite side of
the valley. I could make out a deer at the edge
of a small clearing. I could only make it out
quite faintly, so I couldn’t identify the target
for certain. My brother made a sign to me.
Another deer appeared further up. After
quickly sighting the target, I decided to take
a shot. The deer was in a good position when
the shot fired. My brother gave me a pat of
approval on the shoulder.

THE EXPERIENCED HUNTER.
Hunting in the mountains is a thing of inaccessible
beauty where effort and reward are closely
intertwined. But anyone who really gets involved
in it gains more than just the prey. This is the
lesson I learnt when I accompanied my father into
the mountains for the first time. The quiet ascent
with him on that occasion came to an abrupt end
when he spotted a buck some 200 meters (656 feet)
ahead of us. He handed me his Habicht binoculars
so that I could see it for myself. We stalked it under
the cover of the trees until we reached the perfect
shooting distance. His clean shot was what
kindled my passion for hunting.
67. SWAROVSKI OPTIK 69
THE YOUNG HUNTER.
We had completed the most arduous section when something appeared in the sparse mountain forest.
Was it a chamois? I grabbed the binoculars. Yes, and a fine-looking one at that. I dropped down in front
of a tree stump, using my rucksack as a support. Then, I took a quick look at my hunting companion.
He gave me a nod. I sighted the year-old animal and did what I had to do. The shot was fired, achieving
a hit a finger’s width behind the shoulder. A short time later, it was quiet again all around.

THE EXPERIENCED HUNTER.
A good shot. Well done. It isn’t easy for young hunters to hit the target at an angle.
But successful moments like these show that there is a future for hunting. It proves that
smartphones, knowledge that is centuries old, and hunting discipline are not incompatible.
But it is discipline that counts when hunting in the mountains.
THE YOUNG HUNTER.
The chamois weighed in the rucksack a good
14-15 kg (31-33 lb), and I seriously thought that
it was getting heavier with every step I took.
I certainly didn’t let it show, even if there
were beads of sweat on my face. My hunting
companion seemed to be delighted, and the
further we descended into the valley, the more
animated he became when recounting tales
from his own hunting career. So, nothing else
but to carry on, step by step.
69. SWAROVSKI OPTIK 71
THE EXPERIENCED HUNTER.
Hunting in the mountains assigns us our place in nature. This is something that experienced hunters
can pass on to young hunters. It is precisely when you’re hunting in the mountains, where so many factors
can determine success and failure, such as your stamina, equipment, or the weather conditions. You need
to know what to do or not do. When I’m sighting the target, am I also confident enough to make the right
decision? Can I even bring the kill down to the valley in my rucksack? My father showed me what it’s all
about. Now the time has come for this knowledge to be passed on.

overall design. This means no more lost covers. They also provide your
binoculars with the best protection against external impacts.
PRACTICAL AND ADAPTABLE. The new quick catch button is both elegant
and functional. With a simple turn, the carrying strap can be secured
to your ideal length. This means that you can adjust the strap within
seconds to the length that feels most comfortable when you are out
in the field.

on the CTC 30x75, a proven classic from SWAROVSKI OPTIK.
This compact extendable spotting scope with good optics
and a fixed magnification, also has small dimensions making
it easy to use, and is equally an important part of the hunter’s
equipment in the hunting field.

HUNTING AND
THE FAIRER SEX
HIDE HUNTING
The number of women attending hunting courses has seen a steady increase. There has
also been a continuing rise in many countries in the number of women involved in hunting.
If we take a look at studies on this topic, they highlight that women prefer hide hunting
and tend to focus on different key aspects of hunting to men.
79. SWAROVSKI OPTIK 81
I
n ancient times women were the ones responsible for
hunting. Diana and Artemis were the goddesses of
hunting in Roman and Greek mythology respectively.
Artemis apparently even went hunting with golden
arrows and a silver bow. These legends aside, women
have firmly established their place in hunting activities, mainly in
the last 20 years.
THE FAIRER SEX HAS LONG BEEN INVOLVED
IN HUNTING
Women’s involvement in hunting is not something completely new.
There were already records from the 14th century documenting the
involvement of women in hunting. In the 19th and 20th centuries,
a number of women managed to become famous internationally for
their hunting prowess. The best-known example is Annie Oakley,
who caused a sensation in the USA as a professional hunter, and
later as a trick shooter. She was celebrated as one of the first female
superstars. Her colorful life story inspired the musical “Annie Get
Your Gun,” which was a great success on Broadway in the 1940s.
In addition to this superstar, there were also numerous female hunt-
ers mainly from the start to the middle of the 20th century, who
are relatively unknown nowadays, but were engaged, for instance,
in big game hunting. Together, they all paved the way for today’s
female hunters.
A QUESTION OF MOTIVATION
Germany, Austria, and Norway lead the way when it comes to female
hunters. In Germany alone, women account for 10% of hunters,
HIDE HUNTING
81. SWAROVSKI OPTIK 83
with the figure for women attending hunting
courses even as high as 20%, with a continu-
ing upward trend. Even in countries, such as
Switzerland, where the proportion of women
involved is relatively small, the figure is 5%,
and the numbers are on the rise.
A study conducted by the University of
Bremen into the psychology of hunting has
attempted to find out more about the moti-
vation of female hunters. According to the
results, the overriding motivation for hunting
among women is the need for game-keeping,
which is just the same for their male col-
leagues. However, pure trophy hunting is
more or less categorically rejected. Female
hunters realize that hunting is also the com-
plete opposite to their everyday life. There was
a fairly equal balance among both genders for
obtaining game for food as the motivation for
hunting. There was only a negligible differ-
ence between women and men in this regard.
HUNTING DOG AS KEY FACTOR
The paths that lead people to take up hunt-
ing are completely individual. Some go
hunting with their partners, while others
have signed up for hunting courses out
of their own interest in and enjoyment of
nature. However, what is interesting is that
many women come across hunting through
dog training. This was actually the case in
Germany when in 2012 62% of the hunting
license applications received from women
came from this path.
Female hunters can actually be found taking
part in every type of hunting, with hide hunt-
ing being particularly popular. “In particular,
spending long nights in a hide waiting for
a boar to appear provides an excellent oppor-
tunity to take in the ambience of nature,”
comments one woman, also confirming the
affinity just mentioned of female hunters for
hunting dogs. “Hunting with a dog is actually
much more enjoyable. I can’t imagine hunt-
ing small game without a dog. Even when
hunting hoofed game, it’s always more pleas-
ant and helpful to have a companion.”
ENJOYMENT VERSUS KILL
The preference for hide hunting corroborates
the views expressed in psychological studies
on hunting and the statements from some
female hunters. According to the current
view, women are regarded as being extremely
conscientious during training and focus more
in their activities on the enjoyment aspect
rather than on the prey. But, it is not possi-
ble to make such a generalization as neither
women nor men like to be stereotyped. Taking
a closer look at the results, it quickly becomes
evident that female hunters are quite happy to
use their skill not only to “shoot down” prey,
but also a few clichés.

DIGISCOPING
Every day, the hunting ground fills you with the anticipation
of exciting moments. Thanks to SWAROVSKI OPTIK, you
can now capture these moments and share them. Digiscoping
is the term used to describe the special photographic technique
where a camera and spotting scope are connected to form
a powerful photo device, and interact perfectly so that you can
take impressive shots. Riccardo Camusso, a passionate hunter
and digiscoper, describes how observing and taking photos can
enhance your everyday experience in the hunting ground.

F
or people like us, hunting
is mainly about obser-
vation. Weighing up sit-
uations. Getting a good
overview. Identifying the
familiar. And also shooting photos, of course.
It’s not primarily about the moment when
we put our finger on the trigger. That may
be the final action in our dialog with nature,
but it is by no means the most important
one. If we want wildlife in the hunting
ground to make an impression on us, and –
especially if it’s a one-off opportunity – also
to capture it, we should always have ready
to hand an ATX/STX spotting scope from
SWAROVSKI OPTIK, along with digiscoping
equipment.
NATURE PROVIDES US WITH
A HOST OF SUBJECTS
It’s twilight. We’re waiting in a raised hide. Our
eyes are constantly scanning our surround-
ings, on the lookout. Visibility is deteriorating
with every minute that passes. Then a deer
appears, fairly young, with a slim neck, carry-
ing his head high – and what a wonderful set
of antlers! A magnificent creature.
These are the moments that we hunters love
to exchange tales about. It simply gives us
a special thrill to be able to combine obser-
vation and photography in a single activity.
Using the same equipment, at the same time,
in the same place.
RIGHT FOR EVERY
APPLICATION
Anyone who looks through the lens of an ATX/
STX spotting scope from SWAROVSKI OPTIK
for the first time will be able to appreciate
its user-friendly handling. There is also its
DIGISCOPING
90. SWAROVSKI OPTIK92
When taking digiscoping shots for the
first time, you shouldn’t use the spotting
scope at its maximum magnification.
It’s better if you start by getting to know
the bottom end of the range and finding
the ideal focal length.
The higher the magnification, the more
important it is also to ensure that your
equipment has a stable base. A tripod or
support, for example, is ideal for this.
Objective modules come in three
sizes. The 65 mm module is light and
compact, ideal for when you’re out and
about. The 85 mm and 95 mm modules
are perfect for situations that require
maximum light transmission, field of
view, and magnification for observing
and shooting photos.

revolutionary modular design. No other spotting
scope offers users the chance to select the right
combination of eyepiece and objective lens,
enabling them to tailor their equipment exactly
to their personal requirements. ATX/STX spot-
ting scopes are of course also beneficial from
a hunting perspective. It is extremely import-
ant for every responsible hunter to be able to
determine as accurately as possible the age
and sex of a wild animal. The excellent optics
in these spotting scopes is extremely helpful in
performing this task.
DISTANCE ENSURES GREATER
AUTHENTICITY
One of the most worthwhile benefits of digi-
scoping with an ATX/STX spotting scope is
that it gives you the chance to observe ani-
mals in the wild without disturbing them at
all, and to shoot photos displaying unprece-
dented sharpness and attention to detail. This
means that we don’t need to stalk the animals,
but can spend long periods observing them
in every detail because our position is beyond
their flight initiation distance. In peace, undis-
turbed, and directly head on. Never being
subjected to harassment. Immersed in their
normal daily routine, for hours on end.
What is certainly clear from this is that
digiscoping is about enjoying the sense of
magic created by nature, which is presented
perfectly by the spotting scopes from
SWAROVSKI OPTIK to be captured and shared
with fellow hunters. And this can happen every
day of the year, in new ways every time.

First and foremost, customer satisfaction is
the number one priority for us. We are always
prepared to listen and seek direct, informal
contact. In other words, we will not only
answer your queries quickly, but will endeavor
to ensure that you can use your product as
soon as possible again, at the usual level of
quality. We generally have the product at
our premises for up to 10 days, which is the
quickest turnaround in the whole sector.
FOR HOW LONG AND IN WHAT
CASES CAN I TAKE MY PRODUCT
TO CUSTOMER SERVICE?
We basically deal with all queries relating to
your product. We attach great importance to
feedback, which means that we keep in close
contact with our customers on a daily basis.
The age of your long-range optical device does
not come into this. On the contrary, we service
many products that are already 30 or 40 years
old. In any case, we make every effort to offer
a rapid, diligent, personalized service.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I NEED NEW
PROTECTIVE COVERS, ETC.?
If you send the product for repair directly to
SWAROVSKI OPTIK in Absam, Austria, we will
also replace any worn parts at no extra cost.
HOW DO I LOOK AFTER THE
OPTICS IN MY SWAROVSKI
OPTIK PRODUCT PROPERLY?
We recommend using the special microfi-
ber cloth for the lenses, which comes with
all of our products. If necessary, it can be
cleaned in lukewarm soapy water. The best
way to remove larger particles is by first
using an optical brush, like the one in the
SWAROVSKI OPTIK cleaning set. If the eye-
cups are dirty, you can simply unscrew and
clean them.
ARE THERE ANY SPECIFIC
CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
THE HOUSING?
It is very easy to care for the housing’s exterior:
you only need to wipe it with a soft, damp
cloth. However, the special microfiber cloth
is not suitable for this as it is only intended for
the optics. No solvents should be used either
as they damage the surface.
HOW SHOULD I STORE MY
SWAROVSKI OPTIK PRODUCT
AND HOW SHOULD I PROTECT
IT FROM HUMIDITY?
The best place for your SWAROVSKI OPTIK
product is in your pocket or somewhere that
is well ventilated. If it is wet, it must be dried
first. If you are traveling in tropical regions or
areas with a high level of humidity, you should
definitely put it in an airtight container with
a humidity absorbent such as silica gel.
