Review Kowa BD42-10GR High Performance 10x42mm Binoculars (Green) / Kowa Optimed, Inc. BD42-10GR:These high-end binoculars with professional-level specifications are perfect for bird watching. The BD42 is designed to be as compact and light as possible, without compromising high performance. With an attractive aesthetic design, available in 8x or 10x magnification. Kowa's roof prism binoculars use the Schmidt-Pechan prisms. One surface of Pechan prism does not provide total reflection, so we have applied a highly reflective multi-coating of dielectrics. This allows for a much higher reflectivity than with coatings of a silver or optically-enhanced aluminum, offering a reflectance of 99% or higher across the entire visible spectrum (400 to 700nm). Not only does this provide bright and sharp images, but accurate color reproduction is also achieved. Furthermore, the roof surface of the Schmidt prism is phase coated (phase correction coated) to prevent the loss of contrast and image resolution. The housing is waterproof and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent the lens from fogging. The lightweight yet robust housing is designed to fit comfortably into your hands.

Through the use of a Bak4 prism these Kowa binoculars are able to give you bright, clear images all the way to the edge of the objective lens. Kowa's BD42-10GR roof prism uses the schmidt-Pechan prism, where one surface of the Pechan prism does not provide total reflection, so they have applied a highly reflective multi-coating of dielectrics, called a C3 coating. This allows for a much higher reflectivity than with coatings of silver or optically-enhanced aluminum, offering a reflectance of 99-percent or higher across the entire visible spectrum of 400 to 700 millimeters. Not only does this increase the brightness and sharpness of the images, but ensures an accurate color reproduction is also achieved. Furthermore, the roof surface of the Schmidt prism is phase coated (phase correction coated) to prevent the loss of contrast and image resolution. The stylish green housing of the Kowa BD42-10GR is waterproof and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent the lens from fogging, which allows these binoculars to be used in the rain and other harsh weather conditions.
