Thornfield HouseKowa SV II 8x25 Compact Binoculars
Our Price: £109.00
The Kowa SV II 8x25 is a small, low-cost binocular for anyone who wants something light to keep in a bag or the car. It weighs 260g, is waterproof, and gives a 108m field of view.
The SV II range is Kowa's entry-level series. It uses fully multi-coated lenses and Kowa's KR coating, which helps water and dirt run off the outer lenses.
Every SV II is waterproof and nitrogen filled, so it can be used in the rain and won't fog up inside.
The Kowa SV II 8x25 has a 108m field of view at 1000m, close focus of 1.5m, 15mm eye relief and a 3.1mm exit pupil. It weighs 260g and measures 104 x 108 x 42mm.
