The Kowa
Genesis series is the highest step in the evolution in optical technology of this
Japanese brand. This model, with
10.5x magnification and 44mm aperture, is manufactured using
XD technology, with extra-low dispersion
(ED ) and
HD quality. This optical treatment incorporates 4 XD lenses, (2 + 2), which totally reduce
chromatic aberrations and improve image
contrast . The lenses are made of
fluorite glass. It escapes the 10x standard and incorporates 0.5x more, also 4mm more aperture, to further
improve performance.
The
C3 multi-coating of the lenses achieves
optimal color definition and a field of view 14% greater than the 32mm model of the BD series. This allows for higher reflectivity than optically enhanced silver or aluminum, offering
99% or more reflectivity across the entire visible spectrum (400-700nm). This not only provides brilliant, sharp images, but also
accurate color reproduction .
They incorporate
nitrogen gas inside to prevent fogging.
Waterproof ,
splash resistant and with a good
non-slip grip to prevent falls.
This
binocular becomes a first-rate tool for terrestrial
observation , especially
birds and fauna . The optical qualities allow it to be used even in
low light conditions
or with reflections , for example in watching water birds at sunset.
