The new prism system of the GENESIS/XD44 allows for a wide field of view and edge to edge sharpness with minimal loss of light. This high refractive roof prism (Bak4 + SK15) offers near total reflectance and when combined with Kowa’s proprietary C coating the ultimate viewing experience is achieved.

The prism is phase-coated to ensure sharp images and outstanding contrast.

The magnesium alloy body decreases the weight of the binocular while providing a rugged structure that can withstand the severest conditions.

Ideal for observation of plants, insects, and other objects within close range.

*Not intended for underwater use.

The diopter control is equipped with a locking mechanism that keeps the diopter from accidentally being changed.

Filters can be attached in front of the objective lenses. (Filter Size: 46 mm)

Kowa’s roof prism binoculars use the Schmidt-Pechan prism. One surface of the Pechan prism does not provide total reflection, so we have applied a highly reflective multi-coating called C coating. This allows for a higher reflectivity than with silver or optically enhanced aluminum, offering a reflectance of 99% or higher across the entire visible spectrum (400 to 700 nm). Not only does this provide bright and sharp images, but accurate color reproduction is also achieved. Furthermore, the roof prism of the Schmidt prism is phase coated to prevent the loss of contrast and image resolution.
