About Kowa 8.5x44 Roof Prism
FEATURED REVIEWS
High end binocular at a mid range price
I am not a expert on the different optical variations but the clarity is outstanding, best that I have viewed. The 8.5 x 44 is different from the norm but is a great advantage. The optics is up there with the big three.
Before you venture into the great outdoors for birdwatching or wildlife spotting, equip yourself with the Kowa Genesis 8.5x44 Binocular, a pinnacle product in Kowa's esteemed line of roof prism binoculars. This high-performance binocular is designed with an emphasis on superior viewing quality and enduring durability, making it an indispensable tool for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers.
The 8.5x44 binocular integrates Kowa's proprietary Prominar ED glass, a cutting-edge technology that effectively minimizes chromatic aberration, ensuring crystal clear, high-definition viewing. Coupled with the C3 optical multi-coatings, this binocular achieves an exceptional 99% transmissivity across each element between 400 and 700 nm. This feature significantly enhances your bird spotting experience, especially in varied light conditions.
Unlike most competitors in its range that average around 95% transmissivity, the Genesis series binoculars truly set themselves apart, offering an unparalleled viewing experience. The green color of the binocular further aids in low light conditions, making it a versatile tool for all your outdoor adventures.
The Genesis series binoculars are built with a lightweight yet incredibly rugged magnesium frame, forming the backbone of its waterproof and fogproof body. This ensures that your binocular is ready to withstand the elements, making it a reliable companion for all weather conditions.
Optically, this unit boasts an impressive close focus distance of just 5.5', providing you with the flexibility to observe nearby objects with remarkable clarity. The increase in objective lens size from the standard 42mm to 44mm results in a view that is 10% brighter, enhancing your viewing experience even further. The internal focusing mechanism keeps the overall size manageable, ensuring that your binocular is always comfortable to use and easy to handle.
In summary, the Kowa Genesis 8.5x44 Binocular is a perfect blend of innovative technology, advanced optics, and rugged durability, designed to elevate your outdoor viewing experiences to new heights.
