Kowa Genesis Prominar XD44 8.5 x 44 binoculars with XD glass

These binoculars exceed my expectations. Well done Kowa.

Very slightly heavy but does not impact on my enjoyment. The case has no strap and there are two lugs on the inside which catch on the lens covers when you remove the binoculars from the case. A touch irritating.

Better than the equivalent from swarofski

No bad points

Great brightness, lovely and sharp.

Maybe a little to heavy but not a problem for me.
