Kowa TSN-88S Prominar Straight Spotting Scope with 25-60x Zoom Eyepiece
The Kowa TSN-88S Prominar kit combines the straight 88mm fluorite body with the TE-11WZ II wide zoom, giving 25-60x. The straight view makes it quick to point at a moving bird, and the kit is ready to use.
88mm pure fluorite crystal
The 88mm objective is pure fluorite crystal, which almost eliminates colour fringing and gives very natural colour. It is a good balance between the brightness of the 99mm and the weight of the 66mm.
Dual focus and tough body
The dual focus system gives a fast wheel for getting close and a fine wheel for pin-sharp detail. The magnesium alloy body is waterproof and nitrogen filled, with KR coating on the objective. Kowa's adapters make it a very capable digiscoping scope.
Why choose the straight version?
A straight scope points where you look, so it is quicker to find a bird, easier to use from a car window or a hide, and simpler for beginners.
What the TE-11WZ II eyepiece gives you
On the TSN-88S the TE-11WZ II wide zoom gives 25-60x. The wide field at the low end makes it easy to find a bird, and you can zoom in for detail without changing eyepiece.
The TSN-88S in numbers
The TSN-88S has an 88mm objective, a close focus of 5m and a 95mm filter thread. The body weighs 1480g and is 326mm long.
Which Kowa scope should you choose?
If this isn't quite right, the TSN-88S body is the same scope without an eyepiece; the TSN-88A kit is the angled version; the TSN-99 kit gives the biggest 99mm objective.

Frequently asked questions
Should I choose the angled or straight TSN-88?
Angled scopes are more comfortable for long watches, easier to share with people of different heights and better for birds overhead. Straight scopes are quicker to aim and easier to use from a car or hide.
What magnification does the kit give?
The TE-11WZ II zoom eyepiece gives 25-60x on the TSN-88S.
Can I use it for digiscoping?
Yes. Kowa makes adapters for phones and cameras, such as the TSN-PA7A and TSN-DA10, and the Prominar scopes are among the most popular for digiscoping.
How close can it focus?
Down to 5m.
How much does it weigh?
The body weighs 1480g, plus the eyepiece.
Is it waterproof?
Yes. It is waterproof and nitrogen filled, so it will not fog inside.
What size filter does it take?
95mm.
