The all-new Kowa BD, the new peak of clarity For the first time - our new BD series binoculars benefit from our legendary XD lenses that produce simply outstanding images full of detail, contrast and sharpness.
PROMINAR XD lenses reach the highest level of binocular performance 2 XD lenses are mounted on the objective end of each binocular. This significantly reduces color error (chromatic aberration) and provides excellent resolution for the entire image area.
In 32mm and 42mm BD-XD models, the close focusing distance is only 1.5m Years of innovation, development and technology have resulted in binoculars with an ultra-short close focusing distance of only 1.5m. This makes it perfect for viewing small objects at close range, such as insects or plants.
