Wide field of view and high-precision optics

The 7.2-degree field of view meets the requirements for wide-angle optics set out in the ISO 14132-2 standard. At a distance of 1,000 metres, the field of view is 125.8 metres wide, making it easier to track moving subjects. Kowa’s XD fluorite-infused ED lenses deliver a clear and immersive viewing experience.

A frame designed for field use

The body is made from a magnesium alloy, and the grip details improve your grip. The KR coating on the lenses repels water, dust, grease and dirt, so the optics stay cleaner when used outdoors.
