Kowa BD II 6.5x32
Posted: Fri Jan 15, 2021 8:44 pm
I generally binocular observe with 10x because they allow me to go deeper than 7x or 8x, but sometimes recognizing starfields when searching for the quarry from my dim light polluted backyard can be troublesome with their narrower field. Some reviews on the recently introduced Kowa 6.5x32s prompted me to try the 10° field they offer.
Used them last night under clear, but windy conditions, my 10x50s alongside, and I am sufficiently impressed enough that the Kowas will be with me for any observing session. I see them as a "finder" for whatever higher mag pair I'm using.
