Product Summary

When you want top-notch image quality and clarity at a wallet-friendly price, these YF Porro Prism binoculars from Kowa are the perfect choice. The phase-coated roof prism, anti-fog lenses, waterproof body, and highly reflective lenses ensure a bright, colorful picture even in low light or inclement weather conditions. If you're planning to spend hours or days in the field, there's no need to worry about coming home with sore musclesthe lightweight housing, ergonomic grip design, and included neck strap allow comfortable use.

Description

Cost Effective with Superior Optical Performance
All lenses and prisms of the YF and SV Series are fully multi-coated.  In addition, the roof prism (SV Series) is phase coated and has a highly reflective coating that minimizes the loss of light and produces a clear visual range and sharp image.   Even though costs were reduced through simultaneous product development and the implementation of an objective focus mechanism (SV 32/42), the superior optical performance was maintained without sacrificing important features like being waterproof and dry nitrogen gas filled.


Stylish Ergonomic Design
The stylish design is ideal for bird watching, nature observation or any other outdoor activity. Depressions placed in the rubber armor make it easy to grip and hold the binoculars.


Lightweight Construction
The lightweight design of the YF and SV Series allows for extended use in the field.  Even with a large 50mm objective lens, the weight of the SV 50 at 740g (10× model) is on par with most 42mm class binoculars.  You can enjoy the overwhelming brightness of a 50mm lens with the weight of a 42mm class binocular.   With a weight under 500g, the YF Series is ideal for children and women.


Waterproof and Filled with Dry Nitrogen Gas
The binoculars are waterproof and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent the internal structure from fogging.

    Comments about Kowa 8x30mm YF Porro Prism Binoculars:

    I bought the Kowa binoculars after reading an online review and couldn't be happier with my choice.I was warned against buying cheaper equipment as many of the really low priced optics were described as not much better than toys. I also have to say that Hayneedle.Com were great to buy from, quick and easy service via an excellent website. I will definitely return.
