Description
Kowa BD 56-10XD is a full-size binocular with 10x magnification and a large 56 mm objective lens, designed for those who value maximum performance in twilight and night conditions. Thanks to Kowa's proprietary XD lenses (eXtra-low Dispersion with fluorite components) in combination with C³ prism coating, full multi-layer illumination and a 5.6 mm exit pupil, the device provides an extremely bright, contrasty image with natural color reproduction - even during the "blue hour", in the shade of a dense forest or under a starry sky. The magnesium housing with full water protection and nitrogen filling, 18 mm Eye Relief for comfortable viewing with glasses and a 10-year warranty from the Japanese manufacturer make the BD56-10XD one of the best universal binoculars for astronomy, night hunting and marine observations in its price segment.
Kowa Company, Ltd. is one of the world's leading sports optics manufacturers. Founded in 1894 in Japan, the company began manufacturing binoculars in 1948 and spotting scopes in 1952, and has been synonymous with Japanese optical precision ever since. All Kowa binoculars and spotting scopes are designed and manufactured in Japan, with flagship models manufactured at its own factory in Soka, where each unit undergoes a series of rigorous quality tests. Kowa is the only sports optics manufacturer in the world to use Pure Fluorite Crystal lenses. This unique mineral completely eliminates chromatic aberration, providing maximum resolution, unsurpassed contrast, and natural color reproduction. Kowa's many years of experience are also successfully applied in related high-tech industries - in the production of medical optics and optics for machine vision systems. When you choose Kowa, you choose optics created with the spirit of a Japanese craftsman — to see the world as it really is.
Features:
- Kowa XD (eXtra-low Dispersion) optics - Kowa XD lenses are made of special glass with an extremely low dispersion coefficient, which contains a significant amount of fluorite crystals - the best material to date for minimizing chromatic aberration (blurring of color edges on contrasting objects). Thanks to this, the image is reproduced with exceptional sharpness, accurate color reproduction and maximum contrast even at the edges of the field of view. The technology is especially important when observing in bright backlight conditions or at the border of day and night. The lens of this model uses 2 Kowa XD lenses (one in each lens), thanks to which the user receives optical quality that is traditionally associated with devices of a much higher price category.
- Large 56mm lens — the large objective lens is a key factor in the light-gathering ability of the optical device: the entrance pupil area with a diameter of 56 mm is almost twice as large as that of standard 42 mm binoculars, which provides a noticeably brighter image at the same magnification. The Relative Brightness is 31.4 — a calculated indicator reflecting the amount of light reaching the observer's eye, and is one of the highest in its class. The large objective lens makes the binoculars especially effective at dusk, dawn and in cloudy weather, when most standard binoculars significantly lose brightness and contrast. For hunters, naturalists and observers who go out into the field in the morning or evening, this is a decisive advantage.
