The Kowa BDII-XD Wide-Angle 8x42 Binocular.

Birders will appreciate the exceptional Kowa BDII-XD Wide-Angle 8x42 Binoculars with their stand-out large field of view – 429 feet at 1000 yards – that provides class-leading wide angle performance. Coupled with a range of enhanced optics that utilize Kowa’s premium XD lenses, Kowa BDII-XD Binoculars feature ED (Extra low dispersion) glass to improve optical performance, but XD objective lenses are made of high-resolution ED glass that contains large amounts of fluorite crystal – the best material available for light transmission that ensures an image with edge to edge sharpness and virtually zero chromatic aberration (color blur). The result is a simply stunning image of the birds you view.

Kowa lens coating technology, developed over decades, further enhances the light transmission properties of all lenses and Kowa’s unique KR coating repels dust, dirt, and fluids. Enjoy sharp images with natural color, high contrast, and incredible detail from dawn to dusk.

Every Kowa BDII-XD Binocular has a magnesium alloy chassis created by a sophisticated molding process that produces the feel and strength of metal with the added benefit of reduced weight. The lightweight, rugged structure can tolerate severe conditions and provides a sense of security and longevity – they are built to last. Surrounding the tough magnesium alloy body is a protective layer of rubber armor that not only provides a sure, comfortable grip, but also increases the level of durability of these binoculars. The ergonomically designed body of the Kowa BDII-XD Binocular is as impressive as the optics it protects, with every curve considered to make bird observations relaxing and free of fatigue.

Each Kowa BDII-XD Binocular is fully waterproof and dry nitrogen-filled to prevent the lenses from fogging while you are birding. A fluid, responsive focus wheel delivers pinpoint accuracy and smooth-twist eye cups ensure optimum viewing for birders who wear eyeglasses and birders who don’t.
