I was today at a birding festival and saw Kowa rep. I was looking at the new BD III Kowa really managed to size down all of the models. The new 8x42 is closer to the old 8x32 and the 10x50 was also really nice and compact. The focus wheel feeled worse than the previous aluminium one but other than that they were pretty nice, also some change to the eye cups I guess. I have the older BDII 8x32 and now Im tempted to get the 10x50 for birding near coast and beaches and such where I need a bit more reach. Didnt analyse the image that much. They looked alot like the old ones.
