KOWA BDII 32-8XD PROMINAR 8X32

The BD II 8 x 32 XD binocular from Kowa incorporates the proprietary XD lenses that ensure a sharp, color-true image. The BD II series offers some of the widest fields of view in its class along with an impressive close focus, in a compact, lightweight body that is both waterproof and fogproof. Advanced optical performance that does not tire you after long periods of use — equally at home on a birding trail or watching insects and plants up close.

Features

• PROMINAR XD lenses: extra-low dispersion glass delivers sharp images without chromatic aberration and with faithful color.
• C³ coating on phase-corrected prisms: enhances the prism reflection rate; by reducing the amount of light lost, a brighter and clearer field of view is attained.
• KR coating: protects the exterior lenses from dirt and residue, and makes them easy to clean.
• Ultra-wide field of view: among the widest in its class, for comfortable scanning and following moving subjects.
• Multi-coating on every surface: applied to all lenses and prisms for a bright, clear field of view.
• Impressive close focus: 1.5 m, close enough for butterflies, dragonflies and plants.
• Twist-up eyecups: for easy viewing with or without eyeglasses.
• Rubber coating: comfortable and secure to hold.
• Waterproof and fogproof: structure filled with dry nitrogen gas.
• Compact and lightweight aluminium body with a 10-year warranty.
