BRANDON's Review of Kowa BD II XD 8x32mm Roof Prism Wide-Angle Binoculars

I bought these Kowa BD II XD’s for hiking and sightseeing. Upon opening the packaging I was floored by the quality, fit and finish of the Bino’s and accessories (case is on the robust side) I was concerned by the fact they were made in China (according to the plate on the bottom of the bino’s) The field of vision is spectacular! I’m contemplating getting a Bino Bandit for these bad boys. Although the Nikon Action Extreme 7x35’s offer a slightly wider range the BD II XD’s are FAR cleaner across the field, Truly top notch. They have some heft to them, they are not light. The focus knob and cover for the tripod adapter threads are made of metal top notch materials all around! I also have a pair of Opticron Explorer WA ED-R 8x32‘s that I bought first for the same reason and these are a direct upgrade well worth the price in all aspects. There appears to be a little confusion regarding the warranty on these; if purchased from an authorized US retailer Kowa USA offers a limited lifetime warranty (USA only), otherwise its 10 years.
