The 10x32 Kowa BD Prominar XD binoculars make an ideal companion for the wildlife observer or hunter going on a travel adventure or who needs to carry other equipment like a camera, bow or rifle. Here you need your binoculars to be small and lightweight and thus easy to pack and carry, but at the same time still be able to perform at a high level.
The powerful 10x magnification gets you up and close to all the action and the high-grade optical components and coatings ensure that these mid-sized Kowa binoculars produce a bright, superior quality image during the day. However, in very low light conditions, these and all other 10x32 binoculars are somewhat restricted by the 3.2mm exit pupil that this configuration produces. It is for this reason that these binoculars are ideally used in well lit wide open spaces, like that which you often find out on the plains, in the hills, along a shoreline or at the coast.
For a 10x binocular, these have a reasonably wide view, which makes scanning distant horizons looking for subjects of interest that much easier and at closer ranges, it makes following the action that much easier. These attributes are important in many areas but will be especially beneficial for those on a wildlife safari or hunting trip.
Further adding to their versatility is the instruments extremely good minimum focus distance of only 1.5m. If on occasions you like to study things like butterflies or anything else from very close range, this is something to keep in mind.
BD XD Prominar series of binoculars by Kowa manufacturer offers compact-size, all-rounders and nighttime binoculars for long distance observations. Perfect for hunters, birdwatchers, hikers, travelers, safari etc. Tthe nighttime binoculars with 56mm lens diameter are suitable for astronomy applications. All the models are built out of rugged and durable materials, special Prominar XD lenses and layers of C3 high-quality optical coatings. Wider field of view and stunning close focusing distance that these compact and all-round models provide, are able to satisfy the not only beginners but also the demanding users. Great balance and full protection of these BD series are also very important features.
The compact size model in this BD series is made out of Aluminum body and all-rounders are made out of lightweight Magnesium chassis that makes them less fatiguing. Nighttime models are made out of Polycarbonate body, the lightest material that significantly helps to take the weight off your shoulders. All BD HD Prominar binoculars are enclosed in rubber armour to make construction shock-proof and impervious to water and dust. Completely sealed body is purged with nitrogen gas that prevents the formation of condensation due to temperature changes that especially occur during the sunrise or sunset. These series offer great ergonomics due to their stylish and practical design and perfect weight distribution and balance. All models are equipped with twistable eyecups that offer ideal eye-relief even for those wearing eye glasses. Focusing is adjusted with a very grippy silver central focusing wheel diopter that is integrated onto central wheel (56 mm models) or beside the right eyecup (32 mm and 42 mm models).
BD series is equipped with special PROMINAR XD lenses that enhance brightness and help with extremely razor sharp images due to extra-low dispersion rate that reduces chromatic aberration. C3 coatings that are applied on the glass help with better light transmission, colorful lifelike images and phase correction which delivers a powerful contrast and resolution for stunning view-through. These binoculars provide wider field of view for quicker tracking. All-round and compact models offer extremely generous close focus distance (1.5m) perfect for macro observations. The objects up close will reveal even the smallest details of the birds, insects, etc.
Kowa BD includes extremely comfortable neckstrap for carrying, objective covers and rainguards for protection of the lenses and case for storage.
