Kamakura in Japan is the world's largest manufacturer of optics. With the new EMC series, the brand is now also available in the lower price range.
Relatively low weight and a great rubberized grip are the main features of this fine model, with twist-up eyecups that offers the full field of view even if you prefer to be watching with glasses. The centered focusing wheel runs smoothly and the dioptre setting is traditionally set at the right eyepiece which reduces the likelihood of accidental adjustments. All EMC binoculars are nitrogen-filled for a great protection against water and internal fogging.
These binoculars might seem quite similar to Kowa 8x42 SV, but from our point of view - you can expect a slightly higher light transmission in Kamakura EMC!
