I have been sponsored by Swarovski for a couple of years so the Scope/zoom/DCA were given to me by them. I have bought the 30x ($2850) and 22x (special price $1000 ) eyepieces recently from Universal Audio and Video Center in Pacific Place. I also have the older AT80HD scope/20-60zoom/30x/ and a 77x telescope eyepiece which I bought in Australia. There is not much discounting on Swarovski so the pricing is similar in Hong Kong which I think is the best place to buy.
With the 30x eyepiece on the Olympus 7070wz the range is 840 mm to 3360 mm. I have used the 20-60 zoom at the 60x end which is 6720 mm (not the best quality but good enough for ids). My photo of the Spoon-Billed sandpiper that I posted last year was taken at around 6000mm.
If you have any more questions just let me know, Neil.
