The Kowa BD III 8x42 XD Wide-Angle Binocular. 

Get a broader view and find birds quicker with the wide-angle view of Kowa BD III 8x42 XD Binoculars while appreciating edge-to-edge sharpness. Featuring excellent optics that create bright, sharp, high-contrast views that emphasize the natural colors of the birds you encounter. When combined with the especially wide-angle field of view of 429 feet at 1,000 yards and a close focus distance of just 5 feet, this new Kowa model gives birders the edge in the field and in your yard. These affordable binoculars are also built to be compact, lightweight, durable, and comfortable in your hands.

These Kowa BD III Binoculars feature enhanced optics starting with Kowa's premium XD objective lenses that utilize Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass to improve the binocular's optical performance. The high-resolution ED glass has increased levels of fluorite crystal, the best material for improved light transmission that creates brighter views of the birds you find. The Kowa proprietary XD lenses are fully multi-coated, plus the BD III roof prisms are phase-coated and reflection-coated for maximum light transmission that provides detailed views of the birds you find.

So important for birders, the fluid, responsive focus wheel delivers pinpoint accuracy when checking for details and following birds' movements. These Kowa Binoculars feature a magnesium alloy chassis created by a sophisticated molding process that produces the strength of metal with the added benefit of reduced weight. The outer rubber armor layer protects the binoculars and provides an increased level of durability, along with a comfortable, secure grip. Kowa's hydrophobic KR coating on the external lens surfaces also repels water, dust, and similar materials; plus these binoculars are fogproof and waterproof.

The impressive optics in these Kowa Binoculars set a new standard for binoculars in their price point. You also receive a robust case, a premium neoprene neck strap, and a rainguard coupled with objective lens covers.
