when designing the new tsn 88 prominar series, kowa went back to its roots in optical design. paths that made kowa one of the world's most popular spotting scope manufacturers. to improve a fundamental characteristic that prominar users appreciate every time they look through their eyepiece – natural color.
kowa has always taken pride in producing optics that deliver a pure rendering of the scene in front of the lens. the observer can thus explore and appreciate every detail of the subject. an image free from negative optical distractions allows you to immerse yourself in the scene unfolding before you.
kowa's engineers improved the optical coatings applied not only to the lenses but also to the prism of the new kowa tsn 88 prominar spotting scope series. the result is a spotting scope that offers even higher wavelength transmission levels than its predecessor and, more importantly, across the entire color spectrum for the most natural colors of nature.
88 mm pure fluorine crystal objective
the new tsn 88 series features an 88 mm pure fluorine crystal objective – the true optical power at the heart of all prominar flagship optics. this unique objective redefines color brilliance standards and eliminates chromatic aberration for the most detailed view of the natural world.
the ultimate visual experience: pure fluorine crystal
fluorine crystal offers the best visual experience available today, virtually eliminating chromatic aberrations and providing images of exceptional resolution and contrast.
fluorine is much more difficult to work with than optical glass and requires very advanced processing technology.
kowa emphasized care, time and technique to produce the ultimate visual experience with a pure fluorine crystal lens. that is what makes kowa unique.
dual focus knob
the dual focus knob mechanism lets you precisely control the image. the fast focus provides quick action to bring out subject details in a few turns, while the fine focus offers fingertip precision for unparalleled focusing accuracy.
robust, lightweight and portable
the tsn 88 prominar now benefits from a 100% magnesium alloy body, making it not only more durable but also lighter than its predecessor. a fully waterproof, nitrogen-filled housing, together with an improved kowa kr coating applied to the objective lens that prevents dirt, moisture and dust from accumulating on the surface, gives the scope reassuring robustness.
appearance isn't everything, but...
the tsn 88 prominar adopts the new ergonomic curves and shapes created for the recent tsn 99 prominar spotting scope series. there is no doubt, this is a prominar scope. a classic green with a new elegant, refined style and a comfortable shape designed to give the user the best field experience and operation.
still the queen of digiscoping
the tsn 88 prominar retains its crown in the world of digiscoping, offering photo enthusiasts telephoto photography options at very long range that are not possible with conventional photography. the improved coatings further enhance digiscoping performance, even at the highest magnifications, producing images that were previously achievable only with high-end dslr systems. kowa offers an enviable range of dedicated and universal smartphone adapters to easily connect most smartphone models to the tsn 88 prominar. capture detailed, high-magnification images and videos of the natural world using your smartphone.
double tripod mount
a new double tripod mounting system prevents the scope from slipping or rotating on the tripod shoe, ensuring increased stability during long periods of use. this system is a game changer for optimal convenience and handling in the field.
sighting aid
the spotting scope includes a new detachable sight that can be attached to the accessories collar to help locate the subject more quickly. the sunshade also features a new integrated sight that provides an additional visual aid.
kowa system - an accessories collar: endless possibilities
this threaded collar allows connection of a wide range of accessories to extend the functionality of the tsn 88 prominar pure fluorine crystal spotting scope, creating a multi-use optic for observation, long-range work, digiscoping, smartphone applications and astronomy.
