The Kowa Genesis 10.5x44 Binoculars mark
the peak in Kowa's line of roof prism binoculars. They are engineered for the
utmost in performance, viewing quality and durability. These binoculars are an
optical luxury worth every penny as they easily hold their ground with other
brands of premium sport optics.
The 10.5x44 binoculars mate Kowa's own Prominar ED glass to
minimise chromatic aberration with C3 optical multi-coatings that allow an
unheard of 99% transmissivity of each element between 400 and 700 nm, a feature
that is very helpful when spotting birds. Most other units competing in the
Genesis' range average 95%, and as such, the Genesis series binoculars
certainly stand out from the crowd.
All Genesis series binoculars feature a lightweight yet
extremely rugged magnesium frame that is the foundation of the waterproof and
fog-proof body. Optically, the unit can focus down to an amazing 5.5' and the
boost in objective lens size from a more common 42mm to 44mm provides a clear
view that is 10% brighter. Internal focusing aids in keeping the overall
operating size from becoming unwieldy.
