The 10x32 Kowa BD Prominar XD binoculars make an ideal companion for the wildlife observer or hunter going on a travel adventure or who needs to carry other equipment like a camera, bow or rifle. Here you need your binoculars to be small and lightweight and thus easy to pack and carry, but at the same time still be able to perform at a high level.
The powerful 10x magnification gets you up and close to all the action and the high-grade optical components and coatings ensure that these mid-sized Kowa binoculars produce a bright, superior quality image during the day. However, in very low light conditions, these and all other 10x32 binoculars are somewhat restricted by the 3.2mm exit pupil that this configuration produces. It is for this reason that these binoculars are ideally used in well lit wide open spaces, like that which you often find out on the plains, in the hills, along a shoreline or at the coast.
For a 10x binocular, these have a reasonably wide view, which makes scanning distant horizons looking for subjects of interest that much easier and at closer ranges, it makes following the action that much easier. These attributes are important in many areas but will be especially beneficial for those on a wildlife safari or hunting trip.
Further adding to their versatility is the instruments extremely good minimum focus distance of only 1.5m. If on occasions you like to study things like butterflies or anything else from very close range, this is something to keep in mind.

All models are equipped with twistable eyecups that offer ideal eye-relief even for those wearing eye glasses.

BD series is equipped with special PROMINAR XD lenses that enhance brightness and help with extremely razor sharp images due to extra-low dispersion rate that reduces chromatic aberration.
