True to life colors with TSN-88 from Kowa

Introduced nearly two decades ago, Kowa's TSN-880 series has almost reached an iconic status among bird watchers and outdoor enthusiasts. Now the time has come for an update, Kowa TSN-88 Prominar.

The new TSN-88 features an 88mm pure fluorite crystal convex objective lens which is the heart of all Kowa Prominar optics. Combined with a concave lens this unique lens structure produces an astonishing color brilliance, eliminates chromatic aberration, and shows details that where not previously visible to the viewer. Where you previously saw a black field on the bird, you can now see a whole new color spectrum with even more details.

 

The new spotting scope comes with an improved optical construction with a new optical coating applied not only to the lenses but also to the prism.

Available light enters through the objective lens and internal optics which is then finally transmitted to our eyes via the exit pupil. The more light photon s that make it through the lens, the better and clearer we can see the object at high magnification and in greater detail. Thanks to the superior optical construction the spotting scope produces a larger and wider spectrum of colors than its predecessor and gives a remarkable true to life color rendition.

 

A newly designed 95mm filter thread that is placed on the actual body of the scope can be utilised to connect a protection filter to protect the objective lens from dust, dirt and grease.

The repositioning of the filter thread to the main body of the scope eliminates a cavity between the objective lens and filter – further reducing the risk of unwanted materials settling on the objective lens and eliminating lens flare.

Objective lens has further protection with Kowa’s unique KR coating which actively repels dirt, moisture and dust.

 

The TSN-88 Prominar adopts the new ergonomic curves and form created for the recent TSN-99 scope series. It comes with improved elegant styling and a comfortable shape designed to give the user the best experience and operation out in the field.

 

The aluminium barrel formerly used on the TSN-880 series has been upgraded to a 100% magnesium alloy body. By employing the use of a 100% magnesium alloy structure, the spotting scope is now one of the most compact and lightweight in its class and is also lighter and tougher than the previous TSN-880.

 

The spotting scopes are fully compatible with the entire Kowa accessory range such as extenders or adapters for shooting through the binoculars.

The model comes in two versions TSN-88A (angled version) and TSN-88S (straight)
