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-773 77mm/3" Angled Spotting Scope is a scope of world-class caliber that redefines the standards of color brilliance, detail sharpness and edge-to-edge brightness. Logically tailored to the most demanding outdoor enthusiast, every technical and ergonomic detail that went into the development of the TSN-770 & 880 series spotting scopes has been examined, perfected or completely reinvented.

This version uses an element of XD (extra-low dispersion) glass in its construction, which greatly minimizes chromatic aberration. This greatly enhances the clarity for crystal-clear images and high color accuracy. Use of Kowa's patented C3 multi-coated optics has made it possible to increase image brightness significantly over prior generation models. The advanced lens system of these scopes achieve minimal to zero chromatic aberration even at higher magnifications with consistent high image brightness.

The housing is made of magnesium alloy that is designed for maximum durability and lightweight body construction. The result is a compact, ergonomic and functional design for the die-hard enthusiast that wants only the very best.

Kowa TSN-773 77mm/3" Angled View Water Proof Spotting Scope, Requires Eyepiece Features

  • XD-Lens: This lens has an outstanding optical performance and is easier to work with than fluorite crystal. When an XD lens (eXtra-low-Dispersion-lens) is paired with a concave lens with special dispersion properties, chromatic aberration is almost eliminated
  • Compact: The telephoto lens design of using 5 lens elements in 4 groups has successfully shortened the overall length of the scope while keeping a large diameter objective lens without sacrificing optical performance
  • Dual focus mechanism (Quick and fine focusing): The well established Kowa focus system has progressed to a new dual focus system. The quick focus, with a large and easy to turn knob, will focus from infinity to five meters in two revolutions
  • Eyepiece locking mechanism: An eyepiece locking mechanism has been added to the mount to prevent the eyepiece from getting lost or falling out unexpectedly
  • Magnesium alloy body: The magnesium alloy body made by a sophisticated molding process called thixotropic molding has the feel and strength of a traditional metal body with decreased weight when compared to other large-diameter scopes
  • Prominar Lens: One of the major causes of deterioration of viewing quality in optics is chromatic aberration. Chromatic aberration occurs due to the dispersion of light and the different wavelengths of light focusing on different positions, resulting in a red or purple fringing around the image
