Kowa TSN-883 — The last scope you may ever buy!

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.

Kowa TSN-883 88mm/3.5" Angled Spotting Scope

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.

worthwhile

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

Outstanding clarity

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.

The Kowa TSN-82SV 82mm/3.22" Angled Spotting Scope is the modern iteration of Kowa's TSN-821M scope, which endured for well over a decade as their premium design. The 82SV's a great choice if you want the very best in optics from a respected Japanese company without forking over an arm and a leg to get it.

The TSN-82SV was created using advanced optical technology and the best of materials known. Its 82mm objective lens gathers gobs of light, ensuring a bright field of view in nearly any practical nature viewing. It makes for a great casual-use astronomical scope.

The 82SV is offered exclusively as an angled viewing design. While it isn't a matter entirely settled until you experience the differences for yourself, it is nearly a universal belief that the angled scopes offer a more comfortable time of longer glassing and are unequivocally easier to share amongst a group of observers. You can also get away with a shorter tripod using the angled scope, perhaps shaving precious ounces off your pack weight. Angled scopes do require a bit more experience at locating the subject; if you're tall and equipped with a tall tripod and primarily viewing alone, a straight viewing scope is often preferred.

Kowa Spotting Scope Features

  • Waterproof & Filled with Dry Nitrogen Gas: The housing is waterproof to JIS Protection Class 7 and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent the lens from fogging
