Technology

Because the roof prisms are treated with phase coatings and C3 coatings, the reflective power is increased to such an extent that a light transmission of more than 99% is achieved. This results in an incredibly clear and sharp image. The Kowa Repelling technology prevents grease, liquid and dirt from accumulating on the surface, making cleaning easier. This KR technology also reduces the risk of scratches on the vulnerable lens surface, because less pressure needs to be applied to remove dirt. The Kowa Binoculars Genesis Prominar is completely waterproof and fully filled with nitrogen gas. This makes it possible for these roof prism binoculars to withstand all temperature fluctuations without the lenses fogging up on the inside.

Each Genesis Prominar model is equipped with Kowa's durable, legendary XD lenses. This high resolution ED glass contains large amounts of the mineral fluorite crystal, the best material available today for light transmission. Kowa's lens coating technology has been developed over decades, further improving the light transmission properties of all lenses and Kowa's unique KR coating repels dirt and moisture. Enjoy sharp images with natural colours, high contrast and incredible detail, from sunrise to sunset.

Focusing

Focusing is done with the ultra-sensitive focusing wheel which is easily accessible. Below the right ocular is a dioptric adjustment ring with a special groove to provide extra grip during use. This allows the binoculars to be precisely focused and adjusted for the individual user to provide a clear and sharp image. The ultra-sensitive focusing wheel allows for very accurate focusing.

Field of view

The Genesis Prominar XD 8x22 by Kowa has a large field of view with 131 metres at 1000 metres.

Accessories

Besides the eyepiece caps, the Kowa Genesis PROMINAR 22 binoculars come with a comfortable carrying strap and a water-repellent bag. This way you do not have to worry about sudden rain or being on or near water. Of course, a manual is included (English and German) and the Genesis 22 comes in a luxurious package.
