Kowa 8x33 Genesis XD33 Water Proof Roof Prism Binocular with 8.0 Degree Angle of View, Green

Before you delve into the world of high-performance optics, let's introduce you to the Kowa 8x33 Genesis XD33 Binocular. This midsized roof prism unit is a testament to Kowa's commitment to superior viewing quality, ergonomic handling, and enduring durability. It's an investment in optical luxury, standing tall against other high-end sport optics in the market.

The Genesis XD33 Binocular is equipped with Kowa's proprietary Prominar XD glass. This advanced technology is designed to minimize, if not completely eliminate, chromatic aberration, giving you a clearer, sharper image. Originally developed for Kowa's renowned TSN-77/88 line of spotting scopes, the use of this extra-low dispersion glass in a binocular is a rarity, making this model a standout.

Kowa's commitment to quality is further demonstrated by their use of the expensive Schmidt-Pechan roof prism. This prism is phase coated and treated with Kowa's exclusive C3 coating technology. This innovative technology surpasses traditional aluminum, mirror, or silver-based prism backing systems, offering higher transmissivity and reflectivity.

The Genesis XD33 Binocular is not just about superior optics. Its lightweight yet rugged magnesium frame forms the basis of its waterproof and fogproof body, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of outdoor use. The precision of the metal-based, rubber-wrapped focusing dial allows for quick adjustments, reaching its impressive shortest distance of just under 5 feet. This makes the Genesis XD33 an excellent tool for close-up observations, such as butterfly watching.

The ergonomic design of the Genesis XD33 Binocular is another highlight. The rubber armored contours fit perfectly in your hand, while the upper bridge comfortably accommodates your fingertips. This 8x33 8-degree binocular offers a wide view and extended depth of field in a medium-sized package, making it an ideal choice for sporting events, travel, and everyday use. It's no wonder many experienced field guides opt for an 8x32-33 binocular, given its well-balanced features and functionality.
