The Kowa 6.5x32 BD II XD Wide-Angle Binoculars have a lower magnification than you typically see, but therein lies their strength: The lower magnification helps to produce the long eye relief and wide exit pupils that are usually short and narrow, respectively, resulting in a more comfortable user experience with brighter and clearer views in low light.

To improve image quality and offset the light-gathering limitations of the smaller objectives, Kowa employs complementary technologies that include the use of PROMINAR extra-low-dispersion glass, anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics, and highly reflective C³ and phase-correction prism coatings that work together to produce crisp, clear, bright high-contrast images with accurate color rendition across the entire spectrum. Added to this performance are an exceptionally short close-focus distance and a wide angle of view, which produce an immersive observational experience for every user.

Designed for extensive outdoor use, the lightweight magnesium alloy chassis is wrapped in a protective rubber armor with a slip-resistant textured grip to provide secure handling in cold and wet conditions. To ensure a compact and highly packable form factor, Kowa binoculars utilize Schmidt-Pechan prisms that allow for slimmer optical tubes but deliver the performance of conventional roof prisms. The optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature or humidity changes.

Optical Performance

• Low 6.5x magnification brings subjects up close for observation while helping to produce a wide field of view, long eye relief, and a wide exit pupil for easier use and improved performance in low light
• 32mm objective lenses deliver the light-gathering capability and performance of a full-size model with the carrying and handling convenience of a compact
• Schmidt-Pechan prism design corrects the view while allowing for thinner optical tubes versus the more common Abbe-Koenig design
• PROMINAR XD extra-low-dispersion glass reduces chromatic aberration, which causes halos and fringing, for improved color rendition and contrast
• Proprietary PROMINAR lens glass is made of chemically stable artificial fluorite crystal that is free of impurities, so it will not fluoresce in UV light or have a tint that can impede accurate color fidelity
• Anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics improve light transmission, color rendition, clarity, and contrast
• Phase-correcting prism coatings eliminate internal light diffraction to improve clarity and contrast
• C³ prism coatings improve internal light transmission to higher than 99% across the entire visible spectrum to improve color rendition, clarity, and contrast
• Exceptionally short close focus distance of just over 4 feet enables users to make detailed observations of small subjects like bugs and insects or flora and fauna
• Wide 65° apparent angle of view presents an immersive observational experience
• Spacious 527' field of view at 1000 yards

Use and Handling

• Closed-bridge configuration provides a solid and stable platform for the internal focusing mechanism
• Textured center focusing wheel is easy to manipulate, even in cold and wet conditions or when wearing gloves
• Right-eye dioptric correction allows the user to fine-tune the focusing to their individual eyesight—even if they wear corrective lenses
• Integrated 1/4"-20 threaded adapter socket on front of bridge hinge allows the optic to be tripod mounted with an optional adapter
• Twist-up multi-position rubber eyecups for comfortable use and correct eye relief, with or without eyewear
• Long 17mm eye relief improves viewing comfort while reducing eyestrain
• 4.9mm exit pupil will cover pupils as they open and dilate in low light, keeping the scene bright and clear as the light fades
