Description

TSN-554 15-45x straight spotting scope

A truly unique compact spotting scope featuring a fluorite crystal objective lens, designed to  make your journeys truly memorable and immersive.

At the heart of the TSN-550 PROMINAR series spotting scope beats a fluorite crystal objective lens. This natural mineral has an outstanding feature of very low dispersion that cannot be found in optical glass. This characteristic enables Kowa to eliminate colour blur almost completely and dramatically increase resolution and contrast. Fluorite crystal is a unique feature of Kowa spotting scopes and is a testament to decades of Kowa optical developments. Measuring just a mere 270mm in length and weighing only 800g, the TSN-550 PROMINAR is truly compact and makes the perfect travel companion.

The TSN-550 PROMINAR represents a way of thinking, a way of life. An optic that enhances every moment you use it. It’s unique. A spotting scope this compact creates new opportunities. Wherever your journey takes you, the Kowa TSN-550 is the perfect travel companion. A lightweight yet durable, fully waterproof and nitrogen filled chassis ensures performance in the toughest of environments.

Kowa TSN-CV66 Eyepiece protection cap
Eypiece cap with protection glass for Kowa TSN-660/600/82-SV spotting scopes.Also compatiable with some historical models. Compatible with current TSE-Z9B (20-60x) eyepiece and TSE-14WD (30x). Also compatible with TSN-550 series and Highlander eyepieces with 30x / 21x / 50x magnification plus other historical eyepieces. At the opposite end of the spotting scope lies another area of vulnerability. The eyepiece, like the objective lens, is exposed to the full fury of mother nature. Including harsh weather and other degrading environmental conditions. The delicate coatings are at risk of being scratched by the elements as well as the user themselves for example spectacle wearers, persistent handling and insufficient storage or transportation. As with the objective lens, the eyepiece is pivotal for peak performance of your spotting scope, it is also an expensive part to replace. The Kowa TSN-CV66 is the perfect addition to a Kowa scope and part of the Kowa System protective accessory range. The TSN-CV series simply screw on to the eyepiece and replace the standard removable eye-relief cap. Ergonomic and comfortable viewing rubber encases a layer of see-through protection glass, forming a see-through protective barrier between the eyepiece optics and external elements. The CV-66 is fully compataible with all Kowa System accessories and digiscoping adapters.
