Take a wider point of view

One of the stand-out optical features of the Kowa BDII-XD binocular series is the class leading wide angle performance that provides a large field of view and sharpness across the entire image. It allows you to find a subject quicker than with most other binoculars.

No ordinary ED lenses
The BDII-XD features Kowa´s environmentally friendly, legendary double XD objective lenses. This high resolution ED glass contains large amounts of the mineral fluorite - the best material available today for assuring high light transmission in optical devices. It ensures an image with edge to edge sharpness and virtually zero chromatic aberration (colour bleeding). Kowa's lens coating technology, developed over decades, further enhances the light transmission properties.

The Kowa BDII-XD binoculars will let you enjoy sharp images with natural colour, high contrast and incredible detail, from dawn to to dusk.

Built to last, use them with confidence
The BDII-XD range benefits from a magnesium alloy chassis that produces the feel and strength of metal with the added benefit of decreased weight. The lightweight, rugged structure can tolerate the toughest conditions and provides a sense of security and longevity.

Surrounding the hard magnesium alloy body is a protective layer of rubber armour, not only providing a sure, comfortable grip but also increasing the level of durability.

Each binocular is fully waterproof and filled with nitrogen to prevent the lenses from fogging. Kowa´s unique KR coating also repels dirt and prevents residue from building up on the lenses.

Comfortable for all users
A fluid, responsive focus wheel delivers pin point accuracy and smooth twist eye-cups ensure optimum viewing for all users, including those who wear glasses. Thanks to an easy to use dioptre adjustment system the BDII-XD can be tailored specificically to your own viewing requirements.

The Kowa BDII-XD are simply put super comfortable binoculars that allows you to make long and and enjoyable observations in all kinds of weathers and environments!

All components in this BDII XD series are fully multicoated. This ensures that light transmission, colour definition, brightness and contrast are always optimal. The roof prisms are treated with phase coatings to increase their reflective power. This results in a sharper image and a more pleasant view for the user. In the BDII XD series, Kowa has also coated the roof prisms with the exclusive C3 coating, which gives a very high reflectivity and ensures a light transmission of more than 99%. The lenses are also equipped with the Kowa Repelling (KR) lens coatings and the roof prism binoculars are 100% waterproof. The KR lens coatings make the Kowa BDII XD series easy to maintain.

Technology

Because the roof prisms are treated with phase coatings and C3 coatings, the reflective power is increased in such a way that there is a light transmission of more than 99%. 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 scratching a fragile lens surface by reducing the pressure required to remove dirt. The Kowa BDII 8x32 XD binoculars are fully waterproof and fully filled with nitrogen gas. This allows the roof prism binoculars to cope with all temperature fluctuations without fogging up the lenses on the inside.

Each BDII-XD 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 for light transmission today. 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 colors, high contrast and incredible detail, from sunrise to sunset.

Focus

Focusing the Kowa BDII 8x32 XD is done with the central focusing wheel, which is very easy to handle. Under the right eyepiece is a dioptric adjustment ring with a special groove to give extra grip during use.
