Digiscoped photos of birds by Kowa Genesis 10x33 (1 Viewer)

I have done a review of Kowa Genesis 10x32 several months before and forget to upload the photo of birds

As in my review. I don't have many compliments to Kowa genesis.
I think It's too old to have such a high price tag and glittering praises.

But, I still adore the view though Kowa Genesis nowdays too.
not sharp, not bright, but very soft creamy texture with vibrant color. very similar to Leica trinovid bn series.

So I still enjoy taking it out for birding even I have 10x32 EL. optically more then a step higher.

so. the photos...

all of rhe photo is non edited.
photo with no circular vignetting is what I use x3 zoom in my phone camera (that made 30power)
as I said before, I don't use any other equipments such as tripod or adaptors

Those are very nice pictures with rich colors. I just purchased a pair of Kowa BDII 8x42's and can see that the Genesis models are worth the extra money. Cheers!
 
Infact, BD1, BD2, Genesis 's color bias is whole different.
.BD2 is much better at color fidelity. Genesis have creamy yellowish view bit resembling of Leica BN
Thanks for the clarification. I find the colors of the Genesis more appealing. What kind of digiscoping adapter are you using?
 
but it have some detail differ when I took witth ELSV fo Zeiss SFL...
it feel like oil painting rather then digitally sharp of latters
but I like this texture too
I've looked at some others of your like this side by side and I personally don't see too much to complain about. In fact that first photo might be one of the best Bino digiscope photos I've ever seen.

Incredible, thanks for sharing. I thought I had some good ones but sheesh, I don't know what to think anymore.

How do you like those SRBCs? Kinda interested in looking through them.

I have a comparison witl 10x42 NL and also planning 12x50 review in comparison of NL 12x42
