Product Info for Kowa Genesis/XD 8x33mm Schmidt-Pechan Prism Binoculars w/Prominar XD Lens
Kowa Genesis 8x33mm XD Series Green Binoculars with Prominar XD Lens GN33-8 are the newest Kowa binoculars to use the PROMINAR technology, utilizing four XD lenses. These high performance 8x33 binoculars use the technology of the Kowa TSN-880 and TSN 770 spotting scopes and pair the XD lenses with convex lenses made of glass with special dispersion properties to reduce chromatic aberration to a further degree. This advanced technology creates a bright image with high contrast and remarkable color reproduction that can not be duplicated by a normal achromatic lens. The Kowa Genesis33m 8x Binoculars are wide-angled binoculars and comply with the ISO 14132 standard. The prism is phase-coated to ensure sharp images and outstanding contrast. New coatings provide superior image brightness and precise color reproduction for improved viewing pleasure.
