Representing the smallest aperture in the Genesis family, the Kowa Genesis 8x22mm DCF XD Binoculars provide the performance required for birding, hunting, or sightseeing without the bulk of mid and full-sized models. To improve image quality and offset the light gathering limitations of the small objectives are complementary technologies that include the use of PROMINAR extra low-dispersion glass, anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics, highly reflective C3 and phase-correction prism coatings that work together to produce crisp, clear, and bright high-contrast images with accurate color rendition. Added to this performance is a short close-focus distance, a wide apparent angle of view and a long eye relief, which produce an immersive observational experience for any user.

Practical Coatings

The Kowa Genesis 8x22mm DCF XD Binoculars Binoculars feature a C3 coating on the Schmidt-Pechan prism that offers 99% or more reflectivity across the entire visible spectrum (400 nm to 700 nm). This not only offers accurate colour reproduction, but also provides sharp and bright images. These binoculars also feature Kowa’s KR coating that helps protect the lenses from dirt and dust that may affix to the lenses during regular use. This coating allows you to easily remove the oil or fingerprints through proper lens cleaning methods.

Magnesium Alloy Body

The Kowa Genesis 8x22mm DCF XD Binoculars showcase a magnesium alloy body that is designed using innovative thixomolding technology. This makes the binoculars durable, lightweight, and reliable, so you can confidently use them even in the most extreme environments. Plus, they also feature a nitrogen-filled body that helps prevent internal fogging and makes them waterproof. However, the Kowa Genesis DCF XD is not designed for underwater use.

Perfect for Terrestrial Observation

The Kowa Genesis 8x22mm DCF XD Binoculars’ prism offers edge-to-edge sharpness and a wide field of view with minimal loss of light. This high refractive roof prism offers near total reflectance and, when combined with C3 coating, provides the sharpest and clearest image. Plus, the optical properties make them suitable for use even in low light environments or with reflections. The Kowa binoculars are an excellent tool for terrestrial observation as well as watching water birds at sunset.
