FAQs
What magnification does this eyepiece provide?
The Kowa TE-17HD eyepiece offers a 25x magnification when used with compatible Kowa spotting scopes.
What does 'Long Eye Relief' mean?
Long Eye Relief (LER) means the eyepiece has a greater distance between the lens and where you place your eye (32mm in this case). This is beneficial for eyeglass wearers, allowing them to see the full field of view without removing their glasses.
Can I use this eyepiece with any Kowa spotting scope?
No, this eyepiece is specifically compatible with Kowa System S spotting scopes, including the TSN-601/602, TSN-663M/664M, and TSN-82SV models.
Is this eyepiece suitable for photography?
Yes, it is designed to enable photography by allowing you to attach a digital camera to the spotting scope, effectively turning it into a super-telephotographic lens.
What is the field of view?
The real field of view is 2.1 degrees, and the apparent field of view is 52.5 degrees. The field of view at 1000 yards/meters is 36.7 meters/yards.
How do I clean the eyepiece lenses?
Gently brush away loose dust with a lens brush. For stubborn smudges, use a specialized lens cloth and a drop of lens cleaning solution, wiping carefully.
Troubleshooting
Image is blurry or not sharp
Ensure the eyepiece is securely screwed onto the spotting scope. Adjust the focus knob on the spotting scope. Clean the eyepiece and scope lenses.
Eyepiece does not fit the spotting scope
Verify that your spotting scope is one of the compatible Kowa models (TSN-601/602, TSN-663M/664M, TSN-82SV). This eyepiece is not universally compatible.
Difficulty seeing through the eyepiece with glasses
Adjust your position slightly. The Long Eye Relief (LER) design is intended for comfortable viewing with glasses, but minor adjustments may be needed to find the optimal viewing position.
