A clear and detailed image

KOWA’s XD lenses produce a bright, vivid and sharp image, the sort usually associated with significantly larger binoculars. The Genesis 22 is the only pair in its class to feature ED lenses. The 8x magnification offers the widest field of view in the range, and with a close-focusing distance of 1.5 metres, you can also see nearby details such as insects and plants.

A durable design for outdoor adventures

The frame, made from a magnesium alloy, is strong yet lightweight. The nitrogen-filled, fully sealed construction is resistant to rain and moisture, and the hinged body folds down to a compact size, making the binoculars easy to carry in a pocket. KOWA’s KR coating repels dirt and liquids from the objective lenses.
