Its a beauty - Kowa Genesis/XD 8x33mm Schmidt-Pechan Prism Binoculars w/Prominar XD Lens

I volunteer at several desert California State Parks and hike their many miles of trails and also visit Death Valley National Park. Having decent binoculars is an essential accessory for many reasons when exploring those locations. The Kowa 8X33 Genesis binoculars I purchased from Optics Planet are well beyond decent, they are: lightweight, compact, ergonomically perfect, extremely well made (in Japan), focusing is accurate and easy, and most importantly, clarity is as clear as the very best.
