Kowa BDIII XD 8x32mm Wide-Angle Green Binocular w/ Rubber Armor, KR Lens Coating, Magnesium Alloy Body, 18.5oz BD-III-32-8XD

The Kowa BDIII XD 8x32 is a wide-angle binocular that pairs moderate 8x magnification with a compact 32mm objective for a versatile, travel-friendly optic. Kowa Prominar XD (extra-low dispersion) lens elements are fully multi-coated and finished with KR hydrophobic coatings to repel water and dirt on the exterior lens surfaces, while phase-corrected, C3-coated BaK-4 prisms maximize light transmission and contrast. The magnesium alloy chassis is wrapped in protective rubber armor for secure handling, and nitrogen purging with O-ring sealing keeps the binocular waterproof and fogproof through changing conditions. With 16.5mm of eye relief and an exceptionally short 4.25-foot close focus, it's equally suited to distant wildlife observation and detailed close-up viewing of insects or flowers. At 18.5 oz, it offers a well-rounded balance of field of view, brightness, and portability for birders, hunters, and outdoor travelers alike.
