The Kowa BD2 8x42 XD Binoculars offer exceptional optical performance with advanced features that enhance outdoor viewing experiences. These binoculars are designed with Kowa Prominar XD (eXtra-low Dispersion) lenses, which incorporate a special dispersion concave lens to dramatically reduce chromatic aberration. This technology ensures vibrant and true-to-life image quality, delivering exceptional clarity and sharpness even at long distances.
The binoculars feature Schmidt-Pechan roof prisms equipped with Kowa’s C3 coating. This highly reflective coating increases reflectivity to 99% or higher across the entire visible spectrum (400-700nm), resulting in bright, sharp images with accurate color reproduction. The all-surface multi-coated optical system enhances light transmission for improved image brightness and precise color definition.
Constructed with a robust magnesium alloy body using advanced thixomolding technology, the Kowa BD2 8x42 XD Binoculars provide high durability in a lightweight design. This ensures reliable performance in demanding environments, offering users confidence and security during outdoor adventures. The KR coating on the lenses protects against dirt, oil, and residues, maintaining clear views in various conditions.
Built to withstand harsh weather, these binoculars are waterproof to JIS Protection Class 7 standards and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent internal fogging. Twist-up, multi-step eyecups offer comfortable viewing, even for eyeglass wearers, and the generous 17mm eye relief enhances usability.
