Kowa BD 8x42 XD Prominar

The 8x42 configuration is one of the most popular binocular setups because it strikes an excellent balance between size, weight, light gathering ability, low light performance, image detail, width of view and it’s observational range. All this added to the premium grade optics and coatings used by Kowa on their BD Prominar XD series results in an extremely capable and versatile binocular that excels in a wide range of uses and areas.
For example, birders, general wildlife enthusiasts, and hunters who frequent areas like dimly lit forests and observe wildlife at closer distances will appreciate the bright images and wide field of view that these binoculars are able to generate which makes it easier to quickly pinpoint your subject and then in the case of fast moving ones, keep them in view.
Then there is the extremely good minimum focal distance of only 1.5 meters that enables you to closely study subjects like butterflies, other insects or even flowers from very close range.
The 19mm of eye relief is also excellent. This in unison with the multi-position, twist-up eyecups is ideal for those who wear eyeglasses whilst binning.
These Kowa BD 8x42 Prominar XD binoculars also have a wide Interpupillary distance range of between 57mm and 75mm which will cater for most people, including those with notably close or far set eyes.
