Buy KOWA SV II 8x42 binoculars – the bright all-rounder for dusk and dawn observation
The KOWA SV II 8x42 is a versatile full-size binocular with outstanding low-light performance at a fair price. Its 5.3 mm exit pupil and 28.1 relative brightness gather significantly more light than compact formats – a decisive advantage at twilight and under overcast skies. The 110 m field of view at 1,000 m enables relaxed panoramic observation, while fully multi-coated optics deliver bright, high-contrast images across the entire field. Waterproof and nitrogen-filled, the SV II 8x42 handles rain, fog and temperature swings without fogging – a dependable companion for birders, hunters and nature enthusiasts.

5.3 mm exit pupil – why the SV II 8x42 excels at dusk
The human pupil dilates to roughly 5–7 mm at dusk. A binocular with a 5.3 mm exit pupil exploits this potential almost fully: more light reaches the retina, and the image stays bright and detailed when compact binoculars have already hit their limits. With a twilight factor of 18.3 and relative brightness of 28.1, the KOWA SV II 8x42 delivers convincing results in fading light – whether during evening birdwatching, stalking game or counting wildlife at dawn.
110 m field of view – wide panoramas for relaxed observation
With a 6.3° apparent field and 110 m at 1,000 m, the SV II 8x42 offers one of the widest fields of view in its class. You can scan entire shorelines, forest clearings and mountain flanks in a single glance – without constant panning. Particularly important for birding: flying birds are easier to track, and flock observation becomes effortless.
Waterproof and nitrogen-filled – built for Swiss outdoor conditions
The KOWA SV II 8x42 is fully waterproof and purged with dry nitrogen. Whether caught in a rain shower while birding, trekking through mist or moving between air-conditioned car and summer heat: the optics will not fog internally. Twist-up eyecups suit spectacle wearers (19.5 mm eye relief), and the central focus wheel with dioptre adjustment allows fast, precise focusing.
