Kowa TSN-88A 25-60×88 Prominar FC Angled Spotting Scope Kowa

The Kowa TSN-88A 25-60×88 FC Angled Spotting Scope features a brand new design for 2022. Part of Kowa’s flagship Prominar range, this incredible spotter simply represents the best of the best in Japanese made optics. 

Redesigned from the ground up to utilise the very best in optical and manufacturing advancements, Kowas new 88A spotting scope is constructed with the highest quality pure fluorite crystal (FC) lens and represents Kowa’s finest offerings. 

A key focus of the redesign of this model was to enhance the scope to produce images with the most natural colour possible. Kowa have done just that, and the new TSN-88 angled spotting scope delivers a true to life rendition of the view in front of the lens, allowing you to explore and enjoy every detail of the subject without any negative optical distractions.  

The extremely large 88mm Prominar lens of this spotting scope, alongside the fantastic 25-60x zoom eye piece (included), allow this spotting scope to produce incredibly clear, crisp, and colour-true images even at the highest magnification.

Kowa engineers have improved the unique optical coatings applied not only to the lenses of this angled spotting scope but also to the prism. This has resulted in a spotting scope that delivers even higher levels of light wavelength transmission than its predecessor and most important of all, across the entire colour spectrum for the most natural colour of nature.

This newly designed model now benefits from a 100% magnesium alloy body, which makes it tougher and lighter than its predecessor. A fully waterproof and nitrogen sealed shell plus an upgrade of Kowa KR coating applied to the objective lens which repels dirt, moisture and dust from building on the surface, makes the scope reassuringly rugged.


Tailored to meet the needs of even the most demanding user, every technical and ergonomic detail has been painstakingly examined and perfected. Users of these advanced spotting scopes will know that they possess an instrument of extremely high quality. Your spotter is of course waterproof and fog proof thanks to a dry nitrogen filling.

Your Kowa 88A spotting scope from the TSN 880 series has a fantastic dual focus system. Making focusing easier than ever before, the large and easy to turn quick focus knob allows you to focus from infinity to five meters in two revolutions, and the smooth fine focus knob allows you to focus at pinpoint accuracy, a feature which is extremely useful at high magnifications and for digiscoping systems.

A new dual tripod mounting system prevents the scope from slipping or rotating on the tripod shoe ensuring extra stability for long periods of use. In addition, a new elegant style and comfortable shape will give you the best experience and operation out in the field.

To protect your scope whilst in transit and in use, we’d recommend purchasing a stay on case.
