Reviews & Ratings for Kowa Genesis 10.5x44mm Roof Prism Waterproof Binoculars — 2 reviews — Page 1

Very nice set of bino's. Crystall Clear. Got a good deal from the original Retail Price. Only complaint the Eye cups are a bit lose. Top notch bino's. Japanese glass some of the best there is. Would highly recommend. Don't no anything about Kowas lower end bino's. I've come to the conclusion , that when it comes to bino's, By the best you can afford.

Upon taking these out the box i put them to work. The amount of detail i pick up with these at post sunset conditions compared to my “HD” spotting scope was distinct. I just didnt expect to see that level of detail from these. Looking at trees/birds at almost 500 yards away. I took a risk i feel buying these as there were no youtube reviews and only a few online reviews to go off of. There are a few reviews in the bird watching forums, but not much. I also know that the kowa 880 spotting scope is top tier and ive had a chance to look thru that thing, and its great. I can watch bullet trace from 6 n 6.5 bullets all day. So i knew there top of the line bino’s should be great too. I read other reviews on the 8x33 genesis, n the viper binos shouldnt be mentioned in the same sentence as these. Ive looked thru razor binos too, and i wasnt too swayed to spend the 1k on um and held out for something better. I guess after looking thru swarovski’s , but not wanting to cough up 2.5k for um, i held out for a pair of binos in the 1k range that can give out the most performance. I wish i had the zeiss conquest to compare them too but i dont. I was honestly holding out for a pair of on sale leicas but theIr limited warranty was a no for me. Regardless im still very happy with these so far. I need to go glass with them out farther n see how it looks in all lighting conditions. dThese things are well built, and have a quality feel to them. The focusing wheel is nice...
