Kowa BD 8x56 XD Prominar

The large 56mm objective lenses help capture more light and the moderate 8x magnification contributes to the very large 7mm exit pupil on these which ensures that your eyes are being supplied with enough light even in very low light when your pupils are dilated to their maximum size.
Thus it is the specific 8x56 configuration of these Kowa Prominar XD binoculars, along with their very high-quality fully multi-coated optical components and coatings that make this model, in particular, an extremely good low light performer.
This characteristic makes them an ideal choice for the birder, hunter or general wildlife observer who often finds themselves out at twilight or who operate in thick forests and who either don’t mind carrying a slightly larger, heavier instrument or who perhaps observe from a static position like a hide or viewing platform.
Astronomers will also appreciate these binoculars for their low light performance and whilst the 8x magnification does not have the reach of higher powered instruments, they are great for observing the moon and their wide field of view means that you are better able to observe complete constellations and star clusters.
The 23mm of eye relief is excellent and along with their click-stop adjustable twist-up eyecups means they are an ideal binocular for the eyeglass wearer.
