Kowa 8x42 BD II XD Wide-Angle Binocular

Fabulously broad, bright, immersive and non-fatiguing view. Sharp, detailed & excellent colour representation. Solidly built, excellent focus, good eye relief and compact form make it a pleasure to use. Can't recommend highly enough!

Very bright and clear, with a fantastic field of view. The focusing wheel is the best I've ever used, so easy to adjust and makes focusing a joy. Nice size and weight, not super light but feel extremely well built. Highly recommend!

I've been using my Kowa 8x42 BD II XD Binoculars for just over a month now and WOW! I'm already amazed at the optical quality - when you're viewing scenery through them it's like someone has turned on a light to illuminate the landscape. They're beautifully bright!

Very close focus, which works brilliantly. Solid build without being too heavy, bright wide angle view, and superb clarity!

Forking out this much on a pair of binoculars is hardly a frivolous purchase so you can be assured that we spent considerable time doing our research and investigating various binoculars.

Solidly built, bright image, and easy to focus. A little heavier than I expected but still comfortable after few hours wear.

Pros: These are excellent binoculars with fantastic clarity and field of view. Far superior to any previous binoculars I’ve owned or used. The low magnification is perfect for birdwatching, which was my primary reason for purchasing and being able to focus as close as these can has been incredibly...

Very good binoculars. Very clear view. Excellent value for the price.
