Description
Kowa Genesis Prominar XD 8x33 — is the flagship binoculars of the Japanese manufacturer Kowa, created for the most demanding nature lovers, ornithologists, hunters and anyone who needs impeccable optical quality in the field. The device provides a crystal-clear image with natural color reproduction, exceptionally high contrast and impressive detail even in difficult lighting conditions. The heart of the binoculars is 4 XD series lenses (two sets), made of high-dispersion ED glass with an increased content of fluorite crystals, which almost completely eliminate chromatic aberration. Compact dimensions of 133 × 126 × 51 mm and a weight of only 590 g make the model convenient for long-term observations in any environment. Eight-fold magnification in combination with a 33 mm objective lens provides an optimal balance between detail and brightness of the image. A waterproof, hermetic housing filled with nitrogen protects the optics from fogging, dust and moisture. The KR coating repels dirt and liquids, while the rubber protective layer provides reliable durability and a comfortable grip.
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.
What objects can be observed with this optical instrument:
- Birds and wildlife - thanks to the wide field of view of 140 m/1000 m and the minimum focusing distance of 1.7 m, the binoculars are ideal for birdwatching: you can clearly distinguish the plumage, coloration and details of the behavior of birds both close up and at a long distance; in particular, small passerines, predators in flight, waterfowl on the surface of water bodies.
- Marine observations - a record-breaking wide field of view of 140 m by 1000 m provides rapid scanning of the water horizon, and a balanced 8x magnification gives a stable picture from the hands even on a moving deck, without unnecessary shaking, characteristic of 10x and 12x models during rocking. XD optics with fluorite crystal, C³ prism coating (reflectivity over 99%) and hydrophobic KR coating provide a contrast image in the most difficult marine conditions - fog, mist, stormy weather and when working against the sun, preventing water droplets and salt deposits from forming a film on the lenses.
- Landscapes and natural objects - mountain slopes, forests, river valleys, sea coasts and protected areas - are observed with exceptional detail and natural color reproduction thanks to XD optics; the device allows you to detect small details of the terrain and vegetation that are inaccessible to conventional binoculars.
- Geological and geographical research - Geologists, cartographers, and environmental monitoring professionals can use binoculars to study rock formations, erosion processes, coastlines, and...
