Thornfield HouseKowa Genesis 10x22 Prominar Compact Binoculars
Our Price: £659.00
The Kowa Genesis 10x22 Prominar gives you 10x magnification and Prominar XD glass in a compact 325g body. It is for people who want the sharpest small binocular they can carry, for travel, walking or the theatre.
Genesis is Kowa's top binocular range. The 22mm models use the same Prominar XD lens technology as the full-size Genesis, which gives a sharp, high-contrast image with very little colour fringing.
The compact body slips into a pocket or bag, and it is waterproof for use in the rain.
The Kowa Genesis 10x22 Prominar has a 105m field of view at 1000m, close focus of 1.5m, 15mm eye relief and a 2.2mm exit pupil. It weighs 325g and measures 106 x 112 x 43mm.
If the Kowa Genesis 10x22 Prominar isn't quite right, these are the closest alternatives.
Warranty: 10-year manufacturer's warranty + extended 5-year extra manufacturer's warranty with online registration on Kowa's website.
