Kowa BD-42 II XD 10X42 Prominar Binoculars Kowa

The Kowa BD-42 II XD 10X42 Prominar Binoculars provide high end optical performance in a rugged and compact body. High performing optics produce clear and bright images, with high resolution, and high contrast, making these binoculars ideal for bird watching, nature watching and hunting. These binoculars are easy to use, making them perfect for all outdoor observations, whether you’re a beginner binocular user or a veteran glasser.

With a bright and versatile design, the Kowa 10×42 BD II XD Prominar Binoculars feature an advanced optical system which has been given a series of multi coatings to provide clear viewing in a variety of conditions. Two Prominar XD glass elements are used to reduce chromatic aberrations, improve contrast, and provide greater viewing clarity. In addition, a special phase corrected C3 coating has also been applied to the Schmidt-Pechan prism glass elements to further improve contrast and produce consistent and accurate colours making nature viewing all the more enjoyable and true to life.

With a 10x magnification these binoculars are ideal for viewing distant subjects. Add to this their full size 42mm diameter objective lenses, and you have a binocular that is great for use in low light conditions. 

A roof prism design allows these binoculars to provide consistent brightness and gives them a sleek form factor. The magnesium armoured body is strong and durable yet still lightweight and compact so you won’t tire even if you’re using them for a long period of time. If you are a hobbyist or professional, these binoculars will serve you perfectly.

The rubberised chassis of these binoculars offers durable and secure handling and the housing has also been nitrogen filled for water and fog resistance. Twist-up multi-step eyecups benefit clear viewing in bright lighting conditions and make these binoculars ideal for eye glass wearers. A KR coating has also been applied to the exposed optical surfaces to protect against dust and dirt, and to aid in cleaning.
