ΚΙΑΛΙΑ "KOWA" BD 12x56 XD PROMINAR

BD 12x56 XD Prominar

The 12x56 Kowa Prominar XD binocular is designed for users looking for a long range instrument that is still small and lightweight enough to carry about in the field.
Whilst powerful, the 12x magnification is also not too great so that you are forced to use a tripod. However, these binoculars are tripod adaptable and can thus easily be attached to a tripod should you require a completely steady and shake-free image.

Whilst the high power brings you increased image detail at longer distances, it does restrict the field of view. Although for a 12x binocular these still produce a comparatively wide view, which is of great benefit to users like long range hunters and nature observers making it easier to scan large areas looking for items of interest.

Stargazers will also appreciate the high power and relatively large objective lenses, making this the ideal easy to carry astronomy binocular to take on a camping trip.

Considering their high 12x magnification, the 16mm of eye-relief that you get on this model is really impressive and it beats much of the direct competition. This is especially important for eyeglass wearers who should be able to view the entire field of view whilst wearing their glasses by twisting down the adjustable eye-cups.
