BD 12x56 is characterized by a bright and clear viewing, especially adept in difficult low-light conditions from dusk till dawn - and from twilight pastures to hoplelessly cloudy days.
XD Prominar means that the unit has lenses that has been highly upgraded with ED glass (ED = Extralow Dispersion), made of the finest pieces of Flourite crystals, for the lowest dispersion possible with high contrast and minimal color blur/ color aberration.
The series is designed at Kowa in Tokyo, but is manufactured in a Chinese factory to provide the competitive price. The chassis - despite the noticeably big 56mm light opening - is compact and built in light metal, covered with a dark green rubber reinforcement. The binoculars are as expected from these top-class optics, nitrogen-filled for full protection against water and internal fogging. This model has the dioptre-system traditionally located on the right eyepiece.
