On the TSN-82SV, Kowa's manual gives a zoom range of 21x to 63x, with a field of view from 31 m down to 17 m at 1,000 m (93 ft to 51 ft at 1,000 yds). The eye relief varies from 16.5mm at low power to 16mm at the highest magnification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e21-63x Zoom Range on the Kowa TSN-82SV\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary function of the TE-9Z is to provide a continuous range of magnifications without changing eyepieces. At the low end you can scan a wider area to locate subjects, then zoom in for fine detail on distant targets. Kowa says the fully multi-coated optics deliver crisp images and true color.

Kowa also lists the TE-9Z as compatible with legacy Kowa scopes: the TSN-1, TSN-2, TSN-3, and TSN-4.
