Revolutionary Kowa TSN-774 Straight Spotting Scope is the Ultimate Nature Viewing Spotting Scope that achieves the perfect balance between optical performance, compactness and portability. Utilizing 77mm Kowa XD Lenses, it produces outstanding color rendition, razor sharp contract, and ultra bright viewing experiences that will leave you breathless. Housed in magnesium alloy body, it is designed to maximize durability, while still remaining light weight and compact.
Kowa TSN-774 Spotting Scope Features
Kowa XD Lenses: Kowa's XD Lenses (Extra Low Dispersion Glass) with similar characteristics to fluorite crystals combines with a special dispersion concave lens to reduce a very high percentage of chromatic aberration for the ultimate viewing experience.
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.
Dual Focus Mechanism: Kowa's well developed focus system has progressed to a dual focus system with smooth movement at high magnifications for pinpoint accuracy in image display. The quick focus can easily shift from infinity to 5m in two revolutions with the large and maneuverable knob. The fine focus moves fluidly to create pinpoint accuracy and is extremely useful at high magnifications and with digiscoping systems.
Thixomolded Magnesium Alloy Body: The magnesium alloy body is constructed by a sophisticated process called thixotropic molding to give the strength and feel from a traditional metal body, but with much lighter weight. The rugged structure can tolerate the severest conditions to deliver the highest level of confidence and security.
Kowa's Eyepiece Locking Mechanism: Kowa's standard eyepiece bayonet mount includes a locking mechanism to prevent the eyepiece from getting lost or falling out unexpectedly.
Tripod Mounting Screw: A tripod mounting screw allows the scope to be safely secured to both 1/4 and 3/8 inch mount tripod.
A True Milestone.
A journey of over 60 years of heritage, refining, and developing techniques passed down decade to decade from the Kowa optical masters in Japan. This legacy leads us to where we are now – introducing the new compact Kowa TSN-770 PROMINAR – a truly unique spotting scope, designed to make your journeys truly memorable and immersive.
PROMINAR – THE PINNACLE OF OPTICAL EXCELLENCE.
Only the finest optics deserve the accolade of the PROMINAR title. Optics that utilize Kowa’s unique benchmark feature – fluorite crystal, delivering simply the best optical performance available today.
INCREDIBLE CLARITY.
At the heart of the TSN-770 PROMINAR series spotting scope beats a fluorite crystal objective lens. This natural mineral has an outstanding feature of very low dispersion that cannot be found in optical glass. This characteristic enables Kowa to eliminate color blur almost completely and dramatically increase resolution and contrast. Fluorite crystal is a unique feature of Kowa spotting scopes and is a testament to decades of Kowa optical developments.
FLUORITE CRYSTAL – THE ULTIMATE VIEWING EXPERIENCE.
A mysterious stone called fluorite emits light like a firefly when it is heated or exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Fluorite has an outstanding feature of very low dispersion that cannot be found in optical glass, This characteristic enables Kowa to eliminate color blur almost completely and dramatically increase resolution and contrast. Fluorite is considerably more difficult to handle than optical glass, it requires highly advanced processing technology.
Kowa put forth extra care, time and technique to produce the ultimate viewing experience with a pure fluorite crystal lens. It’s what makes Kowa unique.
THE DIFFERENCE IS CLEAR.
The optimum optical material to minimize chromatic aberration is fluorite crystal. Fluorite crystal with extremely low dispersion characteristics is used for the convex lens of the Kowa TSN-770 PROMINAR models.
PERFECTION IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND.
Measuring just a mere 12.5in in length and weighing only 2.9lb, the TSN-7700 PROMINAR is truly compact and makes the perfect travel companion.
Kowa’s dream was to create an ultra-portable spotting scope delivering the highest levels of optical performance. This vision has been realized in the TSN-770 PROMINAR.
MORE THAN JUST AN OPTIC – IT FITS YOUR WAY LIFE.
The TSN-770 PROMINAR represents a way of thinking, a way of life. An optic that enhances every moment you use it. It’s unique. A spotting scope this compact creates new opportunities. Wherever your journey takes you, the Kowa TSN-770 is the perfect travel companion.
RELIABILITY GUARANTEED.
A lightweight yet durable, fully waterproof and nitrogen filled chassis ensures performance in the toughest of environments.
