Kowa BD II 6.5x32 XD Binoculars

The Kowa BD II 6.5x32 XD Binoculars (product 47032166580531) pair a 6.5x magnification with a 32mm objective lens. That combination keeps weight down to just 535g while delivering a class-leading 10-degree field of view 175m at 1000m which is genuinely wide for this size class. Lower magnification means a steadier image in hand without a tripod.

Kowa fit these with XD high-grade ED glass which controls chromatic aberration tightly. The KR coating on external lenses repels dirt and residue keeping the view clean in the field. Buyers report excellent sharpness across the full field with well-controlled colour fringing even in bright conditions.

The body is magnesium alloy lightweight but solid. It is nitrogen filled and waterproof. Close focus reaches just 1.3m which is outstanding for wildlife and insects at short range. The focus wheel is smooth and the 17mm eye relief makes these comfortable for spectacle wearers during long sessions.

These binoculars suit birdwatching, wildlife watching and general outdoor use. The wide field of view, ED glass, KR coating and compact 535g build make a strong case. Backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty.

The 6.5x magnification paired with a 32mm objective gives a 4.9mm exit pupil solid for daylight and usable at dusk. The 10-degree field of view is wide for this class at 175m per 1000m. Kowa XD glass is high-grade ED which reduces chromatic aberration and improves colour accuracy. KR coating on external lenses repels dirt. Nitrogen filling prevents internal fogging. The result is a sharp bright image with well-controlled colour fringing across a very wide field.

The chassis is magnesium alloy keeping weight to 535g while staying solid and durable. The body is rubber armoured for grip and protection. Optics use Kowa XD high-grade ED glass. External lenses carry KR coating. The body is nitrogen filled and waterproof sealed.

Use a soft lens cloth or brush to clean the optics never use paper or abrasive materials. Store in the case when not in use and keep dry. Check the hinge tension and eyecups regularly. The 10-year warranty requires normal careful use with no unauthorised dismantling.
