Kowa TSN 553 / 554
Our thoughts
The Kowa TSN 553 & 554 set a new standard in quality & performance for a small scope. At first glance their diminutive size doesn’t inspire confidence of a quality image- then you look through the scope & everything changes.
The image is so bright & crystal clear that you will find it hard to believe it’s only a 55mm objective lens. Subjects appear with pin point accuracy thanks to the dual speed focus system.
The scope offers a generous zoom range of 15-45x and retains edge to edge sharpness throughout.
As you would expect from a scope of this quality the unit is fully waterproof- this combined with its compact size & light weight make it a go anywhere companion that can’t fail to impress.
