Minox APO 8x43 High Grade Series Water Proof Roof Prism Aspherical Binocular with 7.2 Degree Angle of View

Representing the pinnacle of their optical prowess, the APO HG binoculars from Minox deliver a remarkably accurate and well detailed image. The glass is manufactured by Schott AG - the eyepieces are graced with aspheric elements, while the rest of the optical stack features fluoride glass ED lenses with apochromatic properties. As a result - the APO HG 8x43 Asph. delivers exceptional optical performance. Across the entire field of view - the APO HG offers enhanced contrast and sharpness from the center to its edge.

The technologically advanced APO HGs also feature a cornucopia of multicoating technology. The phase-corrected BAK4 roof prisms sport Minobrite coatings for enhanced light transmission. The lenses lay claim to no fewer than 21 layers of with M* multicoating to increase their efficiency, while the external surfaces are treated with MINOTEC multicoating to repel dust, water and soiling. These optical treatments ensure maximum clarity, light throughput, color-rendition, edge-to-edge sharpness and the longevity of the optic's critical external surfaces.

The APO HG is built around a rigid, tough and lightweight magnesium alloy housing that offers a significant reduction in weight, a sleek profile and an excellent platform for a precision optical system. Argon gas purging and a rubber-armored exterior ensure optimum performance and handling regardless of the climate.

An enhanced center-focus design features Minox's innovative QCF (Quick Close Focus) system. Precise long-distance and rapid close-focusing is easily managed with a single turn of the cross-knurled focusing-knob. A thoughtful range-finding scale on the knob allows viewers to take distance readings at a glance
