The Kowa BD XD 10x56 Prominar combines 10x reach with big 56mm lenses. It is aimed at deer stalkers, owl watchers and anyone who spends time outdoors at dawn and dusk and wants to see detail at a distance.
Big lenses for low light
Large 56mm objectives collect more light than a 42mm or 50mm binocular. That matters most in the half hour after sunset or before sunrise, when the view through smaller glass turns flat and grey.
XD lenses
Kowa's XD extra-low dispersion glass keeps colour fringing down, so the edges of an antler or a perched owl stay crisp even when the background is bright sky.
Waterproof and fog proof
The body is waterproof and nitrogen filled. Close focus is 3m, which is normal for a binocular this size.
The 10x56 in numbers
The Kowa BD XD 10x56 Prominar has a 104m field of view at 1000m, close focus of 3m, 18mm eye relief and a 5.6mm exit pupil. It weighs 1050g and measures 165 x 148.5 x 66.5mm.
With 18mm of eye relief, most people who wear glasses can see the whole view with the eyecups twisted down.
