Kowa 88mm PROMINAR Pure Fluorite Spotting Scope (Straight)

The Kowa 88mm PROMINAR Pure Fluorite Spotting Scope is a world-class spotter that redefines the standards of color brilliance, sharpness, and brightness. For decades, it has been the passion, drive, and goal of PROMINAR optical engineers to always deliver this natural spectacle to the observer in glorious detail through our optics. Seeing nature represented true to life can be one of the most engaging experiences we can ever hope to enjoy.

New Optical Coatings: Kowa engineers have improved the unique optical coatings applied not only to the lenses but also to the prism in the new TSN-88 PROMINAR spotting scope series. This unique fluorite crystal convex lens, only found in PROMINAR spotting scopes, when combined with a concave lens featuring our newly developed optical coatings, redefines the standards of color brilliance. This special combination not only eliminates chromatic aberration which is one of the major causes of deterioration of viewing quality but also increases resolution, contrast, and low light performance even at the highest levels of magnifications.

The new TSN-88 PROMINAR series features an 88mm pure fluorite crystal objective lens, the true optical powerhouse at the heart of all PROMINAR flagship optics.

Small Changes that Make a Huge Difference: In addition to the optical enhancements, the new TSN-88 PROMINAR series benefits from some clever upgrades to improve your experience out in the field. A new dual tripod mounting system allows you to connect the scope to a tripod mounting plate using two securing screws. This subtle change can be a game changer when spending endless hours out in the field. No more having to readjust or tighten your scope to the tripod. Ultimate security, stability, and mobility all day long. The spotting scope includes a new detachable aiming site that can be fixed onto the accessory collar to assist in locating your subject more rapidly.

Engineered with Precision and Ease of Use: The dual focus system is one of the defining features of our flagship spotting scopes, highly engineered to give ultimate control, the TSN-88A PROMINAR is no exception. Operation is flawless and precise, quick focus allows for fast action to bring your subject into detail in just a few smooth revolutions, whilst fine focus gives pin-point fingertip control offering the ultimate in focusing accuracy.

Cross Compatibility: The PROMINAR series of spotting scopes feature cross compatibility, meaning any TSN-88 Prominar accessory collar and bayonet will be compatible with the Kowa System. This gives you access to the interchangeable eyepieces and accessories, creating a truly flexible optical tool that can be used for many applications.

KR Coating: The Kowa KR coating, which actively repels dirt, moisture, and dust, provides the objective lens with additional protection. The unique twist-up design of the TSN-CV88A eyepiece protection cap gives you complete eye relief functionality while shielding the lens of your chosen eyepiece from the elements.

Tougher and Lighter: Since the TSN-880 series aluminum barrel has been updated, the new TSN-88 PROMINAR now has a body made entirely of magnesium alloy. This innovative alloy maintains a lightweight body while providing all the advantages of metal in terms of strength.

Newly Designed Filter Thread: The TP-95FT filter can be used to attach to a newly created 95mm filter thread that is located on the real body of the scope to shield the 88mm objective lens from dust, dirt, oil, and other foreign objects. By moving the filter thread to the main body of the scope, a cavity between the objective lens and filter is removed, which reduces the possibility of foreign objects becoming caught on the objective lens and prevents lens flare.
