PROMINAR · XD Fluorite
Why XD fluorite crystal gives the Genesis 8x22 the widest field of view
Fluorite glass corrects chromatic aberrations more effectively than any conventional ED glass. KOWA fits the Genesis 8x22 with two XD fluorite lenses – the same PROMINAR formula reserved for their flagship spotting scopes. Combined with 8x magnification, this yields a 131 m field of view at 1,000 m and a 2.75 mm exit pupil: noticeably brighter and wider than the 10x22 sibling. The KR coating further reduces reflections and stray light, letting you resolve fine detail even against the light. All of KOWA’s decades of optical expertise, packed into just 315 g.
131 metres field of view – why 8x is the better choice for travel and concerts
A wider field of view means faster target acquisition for birding, a better overview in stadiums and less shake when hand-holding. The Genesis 8x22 offers 131 m at 1,000 m (7.5°) – versus 105 m on the 10x22. The larger 2.75 mm exit pupil delivers a noticeably brighter image, especially at dusk or in dimly lit concert halls. For travellers seeking a single all-round pocket binocular, the 8x22 is the ideal choice.
315 grams, waterproof and nitrogen-filled – the lightest Genesis for everyday use
The Genesis 8x22 measures just 105 × 112 × 43 mm and weighs 315 g – 10 g lighter than the 10x22. It is fully waterproof and nitrogen-purged: no fogged lenses when stepping from heated indoors into cold mountain air. The magnesium-alloy body (thixomolding) combines rigidity with low weight, while the rubber armour protects against impacts. Twist-up eyecups and 15 mm eye relief make it spectacle-wearer friendly.
