Product description

TSN-55 PROMINAR
Travel Light – See Bright

55mm Objective – Explore Without Limits
Discover the groundbreaking, ultra compact TSN-55 PROMINAR, an exceptional spotting scope designed for those who seek adventure without compromising on optical quality.

Pure Fluorite Crystal Optics
The TSN-55 PROMINAR excels in its class thanks to Kowa’s exclusive use of PROMINAR pure fluorite crystal, which eliminates colour aberration to produce images of startling clarity and brightness. Whether you’re birdwatching or exploring vast landscapes, this scope ensures vivid, sharp, and lifelike visuals.

Portable Perfection in the Palm of your Hand
As the newest addition to the prestigious PROMINAR fluorite crystal scope series, the TSN-55 PROMINAR introduces an ultra-compact option that encapsulates all the exceptional benefits of its lineage. The TSN-55A Angled model weighs just 965g and measure 275mm in length making it an ideal travel companion. It’s designed to be effortlessly portable without sacrificing image quality.

A wider view
Enhanced with the renowned TE-11WZ II PROMINAR wide-angle zoom eyepiece technology, previously reserved for larger PROMINAR models, the integration of this eyepiece into the body not only maintains the compactness but also expands the field of view by up to a massive 52% compared to its predecessor, the TSN-550, allowing for a more immersive viewing experience.

Rugged Durability
Durability is paramount in the design of the TSN-55 PROMINAR. Its body is fully sealed and nitrogen-filled, making it completely waterproof and resilient against harsh environmental conditions. The objective lens is protected with Kowa’s innovative KR coating, which repels dust, dirt, and moisture, maintaining clear, unobstructed views on your adventure.

Dual Focus Precision
The spotting scope benefits from the PROMINAR dual-focus system that provides rapid and fine focusing adjustments, ensuring you can quickly adapt to changing scenes and capture intricate details with ease. This precision focusing system is a testament to Kowa’s advanced Japanese engineering and craftsmanship.

Superb ergonomics
The TSN-55 PROMINAR excels with superb ergonomics and user-friendly features, including a filter thread that accommodates the optional Kowa TP-58FT filter for enhanced protection, a versatile tripod mount for quick and secure attachment to any tripod or monopod and a smooth twist shunshade.

Eyepiece excellence – 17-40x optical zoom
The optical performance of the scope is improved by upgrading the eyepiece system on the scope body. The new incorporated eyepiece features high grade ED glass lens elements perfectly matched to enhance the performance of the 55mm pure fluorite crystal objective lens. The optical zoom delivered is an impressive and versatile 17-40x zoom. Also expands the field of view by up to a massive 52% compared to its predecessor, the TSN-550, allowing for a more immersive viewing experience.

Effortless Digiscoping
Forget your heavy, bulky photographic equipment. The TSN-55 PROMINAR transforms into a super compact powerful telephoto system with the addition of Kowa’s digiscoping adapters, compatible with both smartphones and DSLR cameras. This versatility system allows for seamless transition from viewing to photographing, capturing high-quality, long-range images with remarkable ease.
