when designing the new tsn 88 prominar series, kowa returned 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 view before the objective. the observer can thus explore and appreciate every detail of the subject. an image free from negative optical distractions lets you 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 color brilliance standards and eliminates chromatic aberration for an exceptionally detailed view of the natural world.
the ultimate visual experience: pure fluorite crystal
fluorite crystal offers the best visual experience available today, virtually eliminating all chromatic aberrations and delivering images with exceptional resolution and contrast.
fluorite is much more difficult to work with than optical glass and requires very advanced processing technology.
kowa has focused on care, time and technique to produce the ultimate visual experience with a pure fluorite crystal lens. that's what makes kowa unique.
double focusing wheel
the double focusing wheel mechanism allows precise control of the image. the fast focus enables quick action to bring out subject details in a few turns, while the fine focus provides fingertip-precise control for unmatched focusing accuracy.
robust, light and portable
the tsn 88 prominar now benefits from a 100% magnesium alloy chassis, making it not only more durable 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, give the scope reassuring durability.
appearance isn't everything, but...
the tsn 88 prominar adopts the new curves and ergonomic shapes created for the recent tsn 99 prominar spotting scope series. there is no doubt, this spotting scope is prominar. a classic green with a new elegant, refined style and a comfortable shape designed to give the user the best experience and handling in the field.
still the queen of digiscoping
the tsn 88 prominar keeps its crown in the world of digiscoping, offering photography 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 magnification levels, producing images that were previously only achievable with high-end dslr systems. kowa offers an enviable range of dedicated and universal smartphone adapters that make it easy to 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 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 scope
the spotting scope includes a new detachable sight that can be attached to the accessory collar to help locate the subject faster. the sunshade also features a new integrated sight that provides additional visual assistance.
kowa system - an accessories collar: endless possibilities
this threaded collar allows connection of a wide range of accessories to extend the capabilities of the tsn 88 prominar pure fluorite crystal spotting scope, creating a multi-use optic for observation, long-range, digiscoping, smartphone applications and astronomy.
