Kowa Binoculars

The Kowa XD binoculars have impressive specifications:

Prominar XD lenses - these are Kowa’s first binoculars to use the technology of the latest
spotting scopes. This advanced technology creates a bright image with high contrast and
remarkable colour reproduction.
Phase coated roof prisms ensure sharp images and outstanding contrast.
High refractive index prism gives a wide field of view with edge to edge sharpness and
minimal loss of light.
Magnesium alloy body is lightweight but rugged.
Waterproof and filled with dry nitrogen gas.
Kowa C3 coating on the prisms allows for higher reflectivity across the entire visible
spectrum (400-700nm)

These are the best top-end binoculars we have seen, excellent image quality; bright,
sharp, precise focusing. We have no hesitation in highly recommending the Kowa XD
binoculars.

I have seen the 8.5x44 Kowa binoculars and to me they are better than the Leica, Zeiss and Swarovski models I compared them to. Unfortunately, my local dealer has said they will not be stocking the 10.5x version. Can I come and see through yours?

I find it odd that a dealer would only stock the 8.5x!

Yes, please feel free to come and have a look (and lets be honest, hopefully buy a pair!), please give us a call to check stocks before travelling.

The Kowa Prominar XD 10.5x44 to me are just as bright and sharp as the 8.5x, both are excellent binoculars. I agree with your comments regarding Kowas competitors, optically the Kowa look better than those you mention.
