It’s easy to see why Kowa is consistently rated one of the top in its class, the TSN-883 is no exception! We’ve been extremely pleased with the quality, crispness and color while using the Kowa TSN-883. It’s taken our birding to another level with the range it’s opened up. It’s easy to see even some of the smallest details which helps in identifying new &/or challenging species.

Absolutely marvelous. Very sharp image with great contrast and brings the birds in wonderfully. Recommend the 1.6x doubler for the eyepiece when the birds look like your holding them in your hand right in front of you.

a little heavy for carrying too far, but for setting up and seeing what you want to see. I don't think you can beat it. need a good sturdy tripod

I use this as a long range spotting scope for F-class shooting out to 1000 yds. With a 25x long eye relief eyepiece it is the perfect combination. Crystal clear with no distortion.

Because precision and clarity are paramount for wildlife enthusiasts and hunters alike, the Kowa 66mm Straight View Waterproof Spotting Scope stands out as a superior choice for outdoor observation. This robust and high-quality scope, featuring the esteemed Prominar models TSN-663 and TSN-664, is equipped with advanced XD-Fluorite glass for the objective lens, significantly minimizing chromatic aberration and ensuring the sharpest, most vivid images possible.
The scope's 66mm objective lens boasts over 120% greater light-gathering capability compared to a standard 60mm lens, offering an exceptionally bright field of view even in low-light conditions. This feature is particularly beneficial for birdwatchers and hunters who require clear visibility to spot game or observe the finest details in nature.
With fully multi-coated optics, every lens, prism, and dustproof glass element within the scope provides enhanced sharpness and a comprehensive visual range, free from distortions. The high optical performance of this spotting scope is a testament to its reliable and durable construction, designed to meet the rigorous demands of outdoor use.
Despite its sturdy and durable build, the Kowa spotting scope maintains a compact and lightweight body, rivaling the size of a 60mm class spotting scope and weighing a mere 1kg (36oz). This makes it an incredibly versatile and portable option for those who are constantly on the move, ensuring it can be easily carried on any adventure without adding unnecessary bulk.
The spotting scope's resilience is further reinforced by its waterproof housing, which meets the JIS Protection Class 7 standards. Filled with dry nitrogen gas, the scope is impervious to internal fogging, a critical feature for maintaining unobstructed viewing in humid or wet conditions.
Additional features that enhance the scope's performance and durability include its use of Fluorite crystal for unparalleled image quality, a robust magnesium alloy body for added strength without the weight, and an XD lens that contributes to the scope's high-end optical capabilities.
In summary, the Kowa 66mm Straight View Waterproof Spotting Scope, with its green finish and requirement for a dedicated eyepiece, is an exceptional tool for anyone serious about their outdoor observation activities. Its combination of high-quality optics, compact form factor, and weather-resistant design make it a reliable and indispensable companion for discerning birdwatchers and hunters.
