At the heart of the BDIII XD are Kowa's high-quality XD (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses. Made from fluorite-rich ED glass, they effectively reduce chromatic aberration. The result is an exceptionally sharp view with high contrast and natural colours, even in challenging lighting conditions.

The 8x magnification offers a great balance between detail and a steady view. With a field of view of 8.2°, or 143.4 m at 1,000 m, you also keep a clear overview of your surroundings. This helps you find and follow birds and other moving wildlife quickly. A great combination for birdwatching, nature observation and travel.

The 42 mm objective lenses gather plenty of light, while the 5.3 mm exit pupil provides a comfortable viewing experience. You especially notice the advantage of the larger 42 mm format on cloudy days, in woodland and around dusk.

The body is made from high-quality magnesium. This strong and lightweight material is normally found in premium binoculars. Weighing just 605 g and measuring a compact 13.7 x 12.9 x 5.1 cm, the BDIII 8x42 XD is easy to take along on long walks, birdwatching trips and travels.
