Waterproof & Fogproof Wide Angle Roof Prism 6.8° Angle of View
The Kowa 10x33 Genesis XD33 Binocular
is their peak performance midsized roof prism unit, engineered for
supreme excellence in viewing quality, handling, and durability. This
binocular's an optical luxury, worth its costs as it easily holds its
ground versus other models of costly, flagship sport optics.
The 10x33 binocular employs Kowa's own Prominar XD glass, which aims
to minimize or eliminate chromatic aberration. This extra-low
dispersion glass was developed for Kowa's incredible TSN-77*/88* line of
spotting scopes, and such use in a binocular is extremely rare to say
the least. Kowa uses a costly Schmidt-Pechan roof prism, which is phase
coated and treated with their proprietary C3 coating
technology, which allows higher transmissivity and reflectivity than any
aluminum, mirror, or silver-based prism backing system.
The Genesis XD33 features a light, extremely rugged magnesium frame
that's the foundation of its waterproof and fogproof body. The
metal-based, rubber-wrapped focusing dial is beautifully precise, doing
speedy work in reaching its impressive shortest distance of just
5'. Genesis XD33 makes for a great tool for butterfly observation. The
rubber armored contours fall perfectly to hand, with an upper bridge
that fits your fingertips as comfy as you please.
This 10x33 6.8°
binocular provides a relatively wide view coupled with extended depth of
field and higher magnification in a medium size. It is intended for
those with the skill to make the best use of the 3.3mm exit pupil and
high 10x magnification, and as such is a lovely choice for an
experienced field guide or birder preferring compactness to absolute
light gathering.
