Kowa 32x82 High Lander Binocular w/ Flourite Glass

For those that want the ultimate in observing capacities at magnifications suitable for serious birding or even comet hunting, Kowa offers the flagship powerhouses known as the High Landers. As great as the premium European & Japanese models of spotting scopes have become, they are still perenially limited by the fact that they only let you observe with one eye instead of two. You've got two eyes, and this is of course the most comfortable way to observe anything at a high magnification-providing three dimensionality to the subject that cannot be duplicated with one eye. Other benefits to the High Lander design include the wider viewing angles for the given magnifications versus a spotting scope with similar magnification.
