The
Minox HG APO series is the top of the range for the German brand “Made in Germany”.
At the optical level, the Minox HG prismatic uses
apochromatic correction aspherical lenses to obtain a sharp, bright and color-distortion-free image across the entire field of view. Optical
lenses are
manufactured for Minox
by the prestigious
SCHOTT AG, also known as the component supplier for Zeiss. Thus, its
special MinoBright prisms with silver-based treatment and phase correction transmit 99.8% light and prevent the appearance of chromatic aberration, loss of contrast and resolution. It incorporates
optical elements in fluorite ED glass that transmits more than 92% of light, achieving images with great sharpness, natural color and high contrast.
The
design of the binocular has been designed by
Volkswagen to achieve perfect grip, touch and balance. The
case has been made with a
magnesium alloy and the entire Minox HG APO range is considered one of the most compact and light on the market. Its
focus wheel uses the
Quick-Close-Focus system similar to the Zeiss Victory FL ground telescope which with a quick turn of a single turn we get focus from 2.5 meters to infinity and thanks to its ingenious focus system changes the focal plane when we adjust the wheel more slowly to achieve precise focus. The focus wheel also has a curious
scale of 2.5 to 50 meters that helps us predict the distance of the object we are observing. Externally they are covered with rubber, contributing to a better grip and robustness. They are
waterproof to a depth of
5 meters and are
filled with argon to prevent condensation of the lenses when there are sudden changes in temperature.
The
Minox HG APO 8x43 binocular impresses with its high-quality optics, vivid, contrasting images and virtually non-existent chromatic aberration combined with perfect ergonomics, size and weight. The new model has 15% more field of view until reaching 129 m at 1000m or 7.3º of field. Ideal for bird watching. Warranty 30 years. The
Minox HG APO 10x43 binocular stands out for its exceptional quality with very natural color rendering and perfect image contrast. Its 10 increases do not lose luminosity thanks to its large 4.3 mm exit pupil, it is more, if what we want to do observation in the first and last hours we will obtain better results than with the 8x one because it has a twilight factor of 20.7. Excellent performance of the best Minox binocular “Made in Germany”.
