Description
The Kowa Genesis Binoculars are specially designed to offer outstanding performance and impressive viewing quality. Combining Kowa’s own Prominar ED glass for minimising chromatic aberration with a C3 optical multi-coating that offers 99% or more reflectivity across the entire visible spectrum (400 nm to 700 nm), these binoculars are perfect for terrestrial observation, especially fauna and birds. The optical qualities allow you to use them even in low light environments or with reflections, such as for watching water birds at sunset. Plus, they showcase an extremely rugged lightweight magnesium frame that is the foundation of the fog-proof and waterproof body. The reliability and durability of these binoculars allow you to use them confidently, even in severe situations. The internal focusing helps to keep the overall operating size from becoming unwieldy and the prism system provides an edge-to-edge sharpness and wide field of view with minimal loss of light.

Practical Coatings
The Kowa Genesis DCF XD Binoculars feature a C3 coating on the Schmidt-Pechan prism that offers 99% or more reflectivity across the entire visible spectrum (400 nm to 700 nm). This not only offers accurate colour reproduction, but also provides sharp and bright images. These binoculars also feature Kowa’s KR coating that helps protect the lenses from dirt and dust that may affix to the lenses during regular use. This coating allows you to easily remove the oil or fingerprints through proper lens cleaning methods.
Magnesium Alloy Body
The Kowa Genesis DCF XD Binoculars showcase a magnesium alloy body that is designed using innovative thixomolding technology. This makes the binoculars durable, lightweight, and reliable, so you can confidently use them even in the most extreme environments. Plus, they also feature a nitrogen-filled body that helps prevent internal fogging and makes them waterproof. However, the Kowa Genesis DCF XD is not designed for underwater use.
Perfect for Terrestrial Observation
The Kowa Genesis DCF XD Binoculars’ prism offers edge-to-edge sharpness and a wide field of view with minimal loss of light. This high refractive roof prism offers near total reflectance and, when combined with C3 coating, provides the sharpest and clearest image. Plus, the optical properties make them suitable for use even in low light environments or with reflections. The Kowa binoculars are an excellent tool for terrestrial observation as well as watching water birds at sunset.
