Kowa BD2 6.5x32 XD Binoculars
The BD II XD is the successor to the dark green BD XD series that arrived in 2014. Now with newly designed, slightly more elongated housing in magnesium alloy coated with a light green rubber reinforcement. The focus wheel is plastic but looks like metal. The eyecups have intermediate positions for full adjustment regardless of whether you wear glasses (screwed down cups) or not (screwed up cups). Kowa uses a proprietary optical glass with a high content of fluorite crystal that they call XD. It provides high light transmission and good color reproduction with a minimum of chromatic aberration (color bleeding). The outer lenses are treated with a hydrophobic coating (KR) which facilitates use in wet weather and cleaning. The BDII 8x42 XD WA Prominar has a really large field of view and good brightness, making this a perfect pair of binoculars for the bird watcher who demands the best of everything. The low weight for the class ensures that this can become a modern classic. Supplied with bag, wide comfort strap in neoprene, eyepiece and lens cover.

Coming to these from a 9-year old pair of Celestron Nature DX 8x42's I was impressed with how bright, clear, sharp, and colorful these Kowa binoculars are. I bought them used (B&H rated them 10 which was conservative--they were basically Open Box). I was interested in these because, at least on paper, they are comparable to the Nikon Monarch M7. However, I quickly noticed that, although the Kowas have a generous field of view, the edges were blurry. When I twisted the focus knob they did come into sharp, clear focus...but then the image in the center was out of focus. I have a background in photography, so I know camera lenses--particularly wide angle lenses--sometimes suffer from field curvature because the focal plane is spherical, rather than flat--and as a ... MoreComing to these from a 9-year old pair of Celestron Nature DX 8x42's I was impressed with how bright, clear, sharp, and colorful these Kowa binoculars are.

I have a background in photography, so I know camera lenses--particularly wide angle lenses--sometimes suffer from field curvature because the focal plane is spherical, rather than flat--and as a result the corners and the center are not both in focus at the same time. With a camera lens I would stop down the aperture to compensate, but with binoculars you can't do that, you just have to live with fuzzy corners. Perhaps I'm making mountains out of molehills here--it's not really a dealbreaker because if I'm scanning the treetops for birds the edges are in focus enough to detect peripheral movement--and at that point I'll frame the bird so it's in the nice crisp center. If I had paid full price I would return these, but I got such a good deal on them that I'll just keep them until I can afford a pair of Nikon Monarch M7's.

I wasn't able to find many reviews on these optics prior to ordering so bought them based on the spec and reputation of Kowa. I've been using them for a few weeks now and these binoculars are sharper, brighter and clearer than my previous more expensive pair and they are lighter to carry.I've also had the opportunity to compare them with a couple of birding companions. One pair which were from a big named brand and comparably priced don't focus as sharp as these, and the Kowa are also noticeably brighter. The second pair of binoculars are seriously pricey - in excess of £1,500 when bought new and my friend conceded that the Kowa was just as sharp though slightly less bright and had a slightly different hue to the overall view.I would say these are ideal ... MoreI wasn't able to find many reviews on these optics prior to ordering so bought them based on the spec and reputation of Kowa.

The optics offer exceptionally sharp focus from very close to distant views and I'm delighted with them!

These little binoculars are truly excellent for their price. I am using them for birding and nature observation. There are compromises in all things, and here you give up some magnification at 6.5x, but you gain a huge FOV, brightness and low light capabilities of a full size bin, but in a light, compact size. These would be ideal for birding in any close-in environment, especially in the dim undergrowth or shaded canopies of forests and jungles, where the lower magnification is actually an advantage. I could see skipping an 8x pair completely if you had these and a pair of 10x or 12x binoculars for observing in wide open spaces.I compared these directly against a pair of Nikon Monarch M7 8x30s, and I thought these were similar optically in terms of having an ... MoreThese little binoculars are truly excellent for their price.

The build quality was also significantly better; they seem really well put together and all the parts you interact with are solid and well designed, particularly the aluminum focus wheel and the eye cups.Downsides? They aren't perfect, obviously; the central area is really sharp but it drops off in the peripheries, with noticeable chromatic aberrations in backlit scenes. There are mild distortions that gives a sort of 'rolling ball' effect as you pan across some scenes. I have noticed glare when looking skyward in bright overcast conditions. I don't experience these in my old Leica and Swarovski optics, but otherwise the brightness, immersive AFOV, and center-field sharpness/contrast is just as good as those.

I bought these based on specs. I compared them to Binos owned by my nephew and Bother that are a big name. The pair my nepew has are comparably priced but do not focus as sharp and are not quite as bright. My brother has a pair of binoculars that ran $1600 when he bought them and they are more than $2K new now. He observed the Kowa was as sharp though slightly less bright and had a slightly different hue to the overall view.With that said, I have damage to my eyes from M.S. and every advantage I can get is helpful to me in the field. These binoculars are sharper, brighter and clearer than my previous more costly pair and they are lighter to carry.My only knocks are that they lack a good scratch resistant coating and the lens caps are cheaply made.I would ... MoreI bought these based on specs.

I could see detail in light down to 30 min after sunset. Only an overcast evening caused one time where the last 5 minutes of legal light left me wanting in the detail department.I hope this helps as I was unable to find many reviews on these optics prior to my purchase and I nearly passed up a great optic at a great price.
I bought these primarily for butterfly season. I have a pair of Maven 9 X 45 binoculars that are excellent for birding but the close-focus leaves something to be desired, especially when the butterfly is closer than, say, 6 or 7 feet.The Kowas close-focus to about 4.5' very well. I have used them for birding as well but the field of view is not as good as that on the Mavens.One issue I have with the Kowas is the interpupillary adjustment just barely makes it for my eyes. I have owned numerous binoculars in the past, and I have never had the issue, which is somewhat disappointing.One final complaint is that the case is nice, but it isn't large enough for the neck strap to fit into.

Seeking 8x32 binoculars, I did a lot of internet reading of reviews, blogs, best-of lists, etc. My price range was $300 to $500. I wanted them for general use and my foray into birding. My primary criteria were optical quality, eye relief, weight and field of view.I chose the Opticron Traveller BGA ED bins, $429 from B&H. I used them for a couple of days from my patio and yard and found them quite good. But I thought I should at least try another pair before deciding to keep them. My second order was for the Kowa 8x32 BD II bins, $325 from B&H (sale price?). Slightly heavier, slightly fatter barrels, even wider FOV than the Opticrons, and less claimed eye relief.Regarding eye relief, it's my impression that the listed 19mm of the Omicron bins may be overstated, ... MoreSeeking 8x32 binoculars, I did a lot of internet reading of reviews, blogs, best-of lists, etc. My price range was $300 to $500.

The 16mm listed for the Kowa bins seems almost as good. Clarity, sharpness, big sweet spot seemed about the same. However, the Kowas seemed a bit more vibrant - colors a bit more vivid. And with a FOV of 8.8, it's a BIG picture.The Kowas just seemed more pleasing to the eye, so they are the one I'm keeping. The $100 savings is an added bonus.
I wrote a previous review on 9/28/2022. Now that I've had these binocs for nearly two months, I have a few more comments. The eye relief of 17mm is satisfactory for someone like me who wears glasses, but it could be better. If you wear glasses that aren't thin and close to your eyes, you may not be satisfied.One other issue that disappoints me (but not enough to send them back) is as follows: when wearing glasses, the eye cups are turned all the way down, and the ocular lenses are not recessed enough in my opinion. This becomes an issue when the sun is shining at right angles to the user: the lenses aren't recessed enough to prevent the annoying sunlight from affecting the view through the binoculars.The image produced by these is fine, and they are a good ... MoreI wrote a previous review on 9/28/2022.

I am enjoying them but wanted to share my thoughts on a few of their weaknesses.
I bought these 2 months ago and am entirely satisfied. I have much bigger and more expensive binoculars, but these are great. I trusted Kowa, with their long tradition in Japan and owning one of their super-wide-angle video lenses. I was a little nervous that this series isn't manufactured in Japan, but I was not disappointed. I didn't experience any stiffness in adjustments like some others reported, and the optical quality was consistent across the entire field of view and between the left and right.I bought this for what may seem like an odd purpose - to observe my aquarium fish better! I had several reasons for this: my eye sight is getting worse with age, and if I get close to the aquariums the fish are more interested in me (or, rather, in getting fed) than ... MoreI bought these 2 months ago and am entirely satisfied.

With these handy little binoculars I can observe the fish far better than ever before! Like day vs. night! It seems to me every local fish store ought to be selling them!
I purchased these close range hunting (100-400y) in scattered to dense trees. These were definitely wider than any 8x's I'd ever looked through and the center of the image is surprisingly sharp. It drops off pretty bad at the edges so any extra FOV you get is pretty dull. The depth of focus is way too shallow, due partly to the 8x32 configuration, but it was enough to make me annoyed every time I took them out. I got tired of constantly working the focus wheel to see something 50y past what I was just looking at. It is really bad. You can see it in some of the video reviews on YouTube. It does have a very wide FOV but beware of the downsides!
The close focus of under 7 feet. Exceptional for zoos, museums, birding, fishing, flower viewing, and close-view sporting events.There is much less focusing, in general, than a high powered binocular (depth of field adjustment) and as such, this is a wonderful binocular to share with someone seated near you. Can pass the binocular to them and they easily place up to eyes and rarely need to focus, even if your eyes are reasonably different. Awesome for children in this regard.I like the build quality and the case. Enjoy the huge focusing wheel, and the compact size. I own other binoculars (mostly Zeiss) but these Kowas are my grab-n-go pair, and as such get lots of use. Of all my binoculars of various magnifications and qualities, these are the ones that I would ... MoreThe close focus of under 7 feet.
