Kowa 8.5x44 Genesis Prominar XD Features

• Kowa XD Lenses: Kowa's XD Lenses (extra-low) dispersion glass with similar characteristics to fluorite crystal combines with a special dispersion concave lens to reduce a very high percentage of chromatic aberration for the ultimate viewing experience.
• Schmidt-Pechan Roof Prism Lens and C3 Coating: Kowa's roof prism binoculars use a Schmidt-Pechan prism. With the highly reflective C3 coating application, this increases reflectivity by 99% or higher reflectance rate across the entire visible spectrum (400-700nm). This not only provides bright and sharp images, but also accurate color reproduction.
• Thixomolded Magnesium Alloy Body: A magnesium alloy body is formed using a sophisticated thixomolding technology to deliver the benefits of a high strength metal body but in a light weight alloy structure. The durability and reliability of these binoculars can withstand the most severe conditions to provide users the greatest degree of confidence and security.
• Kowar's KR Coating: Kowa's KR coating protects the lenses from dirt and other foreign residues that may affix to the lenses during normal use. Fingerprints or oil can easily be removed with the proper lens cleaning technique.
• Phase Coated Roof Prism: The Schmidt prism roof surface is phase corrected to ensure sharp images for the most outstanding image contrast.
• All Surface Multi Coating: The all surface multi coated optical system provides precise color definition for a brighter and sharper image.
• Waterproof and Fogproof: The housing is waterproof to JIS Protection Class 7 and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent internal fogging to ensure image clarity.
• Twist Up Eyecups: Twist up multi step eyecups allow customization for easy viewing even when wearing eyeglasses.
