Product details

Waterproof and nitrogen-filled. Ergonomic shape. Lightweight housing. Fully multi-coated on all lens surfaces. KR coating (repels water and dirt easily). Easy to use. Excellent value for money. Based on over 60 years of experience in the development and production of high-quality optics, Kowa has launched these modern and affordable SV II series binoculars. Thanks to the fully multi-coated lenses, the SV-II series provides a bright and high-contrast image with natural color reproduction. Equipped with a large, easy-to-use focus wheel, the ergonomically shaped housing made from lightweight yet very robust materials offers excellent optics. The durable polycarbonate housing is completely waterproof and nitrogen-filled, making it ideal for use in all weather conditions. Kowa's unique KR coating repels moisture and dirt from both the eyepiece and objective lenses. Each SV-II binocular comes with a high-quality, well-padded case, a comfortable carrying strap, and objective and eyepiece lens caps.

Hikers, amateur ornithologists and zoo fans will get their money's worth with all five test candidates - even fifth place still has a "good" rating. For the sharpest optics in the test field, go for the Kowa SV II 8×32, closely followed by the Nikon Prostaff P7 8x30. If you prefer something more compact, the Vortex Diamondback HD 8×32 is also an all-round successful pair of binoculars.

This test report belongs to a different type: SV II 8x32 (8 x, 32 mm)
