Whilst it is probably safe to say that outside of the birding community, Swift binoculars are probably not the best know brand. They do however produce some of the finest binoculars that you could ever hope to find and whilst their Ultra Lite series is great my favourite birdwatching binoculars are the Swift 8.5x44 Audubon Binoculars, that come with their extra low Dispersion (ED) lens and in both a porro prism and roof prism design.
