Rated 3 out of 5

Rugged, but average optical performance

Kowa 6.5x32 BD II XD. These are well built for the price range, and seem quite rugged and sturdy - but that also makes them oddly large and heavy, and not as portable as they really should be. The main disappointment with these is the AFOV. These have the smallest AFOV of any bino I own (which have AFOV's of 76, 70, 62, 62, and 60 degrees). These certainly do not seem "Wide" as claimed, and I would estimate AFOV to be around 50-55 deg, as the field stop is noticeably smaller than the closest 60 deg binos I extensively compared to. On-axis, center of field image quality is excellent, with great brightness, color, contrast, clarity, and sharpness. But that really only applies to the central 40-50% of the field in my opinion. The drop off after that in clarity and sharpness is smooth, but does ultimately further reduce the effective AFOV. This is not too noticeable when focusing on a singular central object (like a bird in my case), so not a deal breaker for me.
