This kit includes the TE-11WZ II WA zoom eyepiece, covering 25x to 60x magnification, so you can move from a wide view of a bird in its surroundings to closer detail. Its compact 36.5cm body and 1,500g weight make it a manageable option for walks and travel, while the waterproof, nitrogen-filled construction is suited to outdoor use. The same reach is useful for watching aircraft and for observing wildlife across open ground. Kowa’s fluorite optics and XD glass are chosen to keep colour fringing very low, preserving natural-looking colours across the view. A dual-focus control gives you a fast coarse adjustment followed by finer control when you want to bring a small or distant subject into crisp focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section=\"features\"\u003eGlass and coating\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFluorite crystal objective:\u003c\/strong\u003e This low-dispersion element is paired with specially selected glass to reduce chromatic aberration.

The 66mm aperture is a good match for daylight birdwatching and aircraft spotting, while the 25–60x zoom takes you from finding a subject to studying details. For a bird close by, its 3.5m minimum focus distance is especially useful. I’d keep expectations measured at 60x in dim conditions: the exit pupil narrows to 1.1mm, so the lower end of the zoom range is the more comfortable setting when light is fading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scope has a 72mm filter thread, a detail worth noting when selecting a filter. Kowa includes a cap for the objective lens and a separate cap for the eyepiece, so both ends have their own cover when the scope is packed away. The listed package contents identify the caps, but don’t specify any additional filter or stacking accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKowa TSN-66A Prominar spotting scope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKowa TE-11WZ II WA eyepiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eObjective lens cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEyepiece cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Kowa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: TSN-66A Prominar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Spotting scope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEyepiece: TE-11WZ II WA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnification: 25–60x\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eObjective diameter: 66mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter thread: 72mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum focus distance: 3.5m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 36.5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1,500g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof: Yes; nitrogen-filled body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody material: 100% magnesium alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kowa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57453521731924,"sku":"441667","price":1993.05,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/2493\/3716\/files\/441667_01.jpg?v=1791321435","url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/de\/products\/kowa-spotting-scope-tsn66a-prominar","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
