Kowa TSN-88A PROMINAR 25–60xW zoom spotting scope

KOWA TSN-88A PROMINAR 25–60xW zoom spotting scope

The Kowa TSN-88A Prominar is an angled nature spotting scope featuring an 88 mm pure fluorite crystal objective lens and a 25–60x wide-angle zoom. It is designed for birdwatching and hunting, when you want to see the colours and even the smallest details of your subject clearly, even from a long distance.

Fast and accurate dual focus

In the dual-focus system, quick focus brings the subject into focus with a few gentle turns, whilst fine focus allows you to fine-tune the focus precisely with your fingers. The body’s ergonomic design is derived from the TSN-99 series, making the lens comfortable to handle in the field.

Expandable using the Kowa accessory system

The accessory collar and bayonet mount are fully compatible with Kowa System accessories. The body can be combined, for example, with Prominar eyepieces such as the 25–60x TE-11WZ II or the 35x TE-80XW, and earlier TSN-880 and TSN-770 eyepieces are also compatible. The EX-16 1.6x extender provides additional magnification; with digiscoping adaptors, you can attach a smartphone or camera to the tube for remote photography; and with an astronomical eyepiece, the tube is also suitable for stargazing.

Main features

• The 88 mm front lens, made of pure fluorite crystal, eliminates colour aberrations and reproduces colours vividly and faithfully.
• In addition to the lenses, the optical coating applied to the prism also improves light transmission.
• The 95 mm filter thread integrated into the body eliminates the gap between the front lens and the filter and reduces reflections.
• Kowa’s KR coating repels dirt, moisture and dust from the surface of the front lens.
• The frame, made entirely from a magnesium alloy, is lighter and more durable than the aluminium tubing used in the previous TSN-880 model.
• The watertight, nitrogen-filled structure can withstand varying weather conditions.
• Two tripod mounts provide flexibility when balancing the tube on the tripod.
• An angled eyepiece makes viewing easier, for example when looking upwards or when used in a group.
