Kowa Spotting Scope
IMMERSE YOURSELF IN A WORLD OF
CRYSTAL CLEAR OPTICS DELIVERING
INCREDIBLE DETAIL.
Kowa pure fluorite crystal
Fluorite Crystal is a natural mineral and it is extremely difficult to work with creating lengthy manufacturing processes to handle this delicate material. Creating a pure fluorite crystal lens takes specialised knowledge, skill, and costly investment. Kowa made the decision many years ago to develop these required skills to create pure fluorite crystal objective lenses to deliver the ultimate viewing experience.
The competition either does not have the optical heritage required to develop such skills or has simply not invested the time or resources in developing and working with such a demanding material. Some manufacturers have in the past used fluorite in their scopes but have found it too expensive and too problematic to continue in full-scale production. They instead use ED glass in their compact spotting scopes – This is a cheaper raw material that is much easier to work.
At best, there are higher grades of ED glass, some containing a diluted mix of fluorite to attain the features of fluorite - but this still performs on a lower level than fluorite in its purest form.
Kowa have over a long period refined all procedures and techniques to make fluorite the 24ct gold standard, that our competitors would like to aspire.
The flagship spotting scope benefits from over 60 years of optical design and engineering. The exquisite focus system has been refined to new levels of sensitivity providing a quick and fine dual focus system - easily operated by the touch of a finger, The quick focus, with a large and easy to turn knob, will focus from infinity to five meters in two revolutions. The fine focus, with smooth movements and pinpoint accuracy, is extremely useful at high magnifications and for digiscoping systems where pin point control of focus is required. Operation out in the field is sublime.
