Vai al moduloKowa Wide Angle BD II XD 8x42 Binoculars
The Kowa BD II XD 8x42 is part of the new series of wide-angle binoculars in the mid-to-high segment. Designed to deliver an immersive panoramic view with premium fluorite optics, it provides bright, sharp images ideal for outdoor activities, wildlife observation, and landscapes.
XD extra-low dispersion lenses
The XD lenses, enriched with fluorite crystal, eliminate chromatic aberration and ensure high-contrast, color-accurate images. All optical surfaces are fully multi-coated to maximize light transmission and deliver natural, detailed views even at the edges of the field.
Advanced KR lens protection
The exclusive Kowa Repelling (KR) coating prevents water, dust, and grease from adhering to the lenses, making cleaning fast and efficient while preserving optical performance.
C3 prism coating
The prisms feature C3 multi-coating technology, which increases reflectivity across the entire visible spectrum (400–700 nm). This results in brighter, sharper images with superior color fidelity.
Durable and weatherproof
The magnesium alloy body with rubber armor ensures strength, lightness, and a secure grip. The nitrogen-filled housing prevents internal fogging and makes the binoculars fully waterproof, even in challenging weather conditions.
Comfort and ergonomics
The knurled focus wheel allows smooth and precise adjustments. Adjustable eyecups ensure comfort for eyeglass wearers, while the close focus distance of 1.8 m enables detailed, high-quality observations at short range.
Immersive wide-angle view
With a field of view of 143 m at 1000 m (8.2°), the Kowa BD II XD 8x42 provides a panoramic viewing experience, making it easier to spot subjects quickly while offering a natural, eye-like perspective.
