The Kowa BD2 10x42 XD Binoculars deliver exceptional optical performance, combining advanced technology and durable construction for clear and vibrant views in any environment. Featuring Kowa's Prominar XD (eXtra-low Dispersion) lenses, these binoculars significantly reduce chromatic aberration with their special dispersion concave lens, providing sharp, true-to-life images with minimal coloir fringing.
Equipped with Schmidt-Pechan roof prisms and Kowa’s C3 coating, the binoculars enhance light transmission and brightness by reflecting over 99% of light across the visible spectrum (400-700nm). This ensures high-contrast, vivid colors and enhanced image clarity, even in low light conditions.
The lightweight magnesium alloy body, constructed with advanced thixomolding technology, offers the strength of metal with reduced weight, ensuring durability and comfort during extended use. The KR coating on the lenses effectively repels dirt, oil, and other residues, keeping your views clear and reducing the need for frequent cleaning.
Built for rugged use, the Kowa BD2 10x42 XD Binoculars are waterproof to JIS Protection Class 7 standards and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent internal fogging. The twist-up multi-step eyecups and generous 16.5mm eye relief provide comfort for all users, including those wearing glasses.
