when designing the new tsn 88 prominar series, kowa returned to its roots in optical design. paths that have made kowa one of the world's most popular spotting scope manufacturers. to improve a fundamental characteristic that prominar users appreciate each time they look through the eyepiece — natural color.
kowa has always taken pride in producing optics that deliver a pure rendering of the scene in front of the objective. the observer can thus explore and appreciate every detail of the subject. an image free of negative optical distractions allows you to immerse yourself in the scene unfolding before you.
kowa engineers have 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 fluorite crystal objective
the new tsn 88 series features an 88 mm pure fluorite crystal objective — the true optical power at the heart of all prominar flagship optics. this unique objective redefines standards of color brilliance and eliminates chromatic aberration for the most detailed view of the natural world.
the ultimate viewing experience: pure fluorite crystal
the fluorite crystal delivers the best viewing experience available today, practically eliminating all chromatic aberrations and providing images of exceptional resolution and contrast.
fluorite 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 viewing experience with a pure fluorite crystal lens. that is what makes kowa unique.
dual focus knob
the dual focus knob mechanism allows precise control of the image. the rapid focus enables quick action to bring out the details of your subject in a few turns, while the fine focus provides fingertip control for unrivaled focusing precision.
robust, light and portable
the tsn 88 prominar now benefits from a 100% magnesium alloy structure, making it not only more robust but also lighter than its predecessor. a fully waterproof, nitrogen-sealed housing, along 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 durability.
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 very long-range telephoto photography options that are not possible with conventional photography. the improved coatings further enhance digiscoping performance, even at the highest magnifications, producing images previously achievable only with high-end dslr systems. kowa offers an enviable range of dedicated and universal smartphone adapters that 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 mounting
a new dual tripod mounting system prevents the scope from slipping or rotating on the tripod shoe, ensuring increased stability during extended 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 accessory 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 accessory collar: endless possibilities
this threaded collar allows connection of a wide range of accessories to extend the functionality of the tsn 88 prominar pure fluorite crystal spotting scope, creating a multi-purpose optic for observation, long-range viewing, digiscoping, smartphone applications and astronomy.
