Kowa TSN-553 45°

The fluorite crystal success story continues!

Kowa introduces a new compact spotting scope with 55mm objective lens made of fluorite crystal.

Kowa set a new quality standard years ago with the introduction of the TSN-880 PROMINAR series of spotting scopes. A spotting scope with a fluorite crystal objective lens whose optical performance is unmatched by any other spotting scope. To this day, the TSN-880 PROMINAR spotting scopes occupy the top position in the market.

Following in the footsteps of these legendary optics, the new TSN-550 PROMINAR spotting scope series now claims the same leading position in the field of compact spotting scopes. These new ultra-compact spotting scopes take the key features, including unrivaled optical performance, of the TSN-880 series and create a new reference class in this segment.

Kowa had a dream to create an ultra-portable spotting scope, with the best possible optical performance. This vision became a reality with the TSN-550 PROMINAR spotting scope series.
