Minox 10x43mm High Grade Series Water Proof Roof Prism Binoculars with 6.1 Degree Angle of View

Minox German engineers in Wetzlar, Germany have created High-Grade-Sport optics with the best possible performance in every area that defines a quality binocular. By using special optical glass from German glass specialists SCHOTT AG, a newly developed optical system provides a fascinatingly high level of light transmission bound to be highly rated for brightness & contrast.

With a sleek body design & magnesium housing, the HG-binoculars are real lightweights at the top end of the range & along with their beautiful cosmetics & ergonomics they ensure the end user will enjoy a satisfying experience when using the Minox HG binoculars.

Apart from optics, Minox has also installed a 'first' as the innovative FCF focusing now makes it possible to take exact distance readings from a scale on the focusing wheel, an often looked for feature on binoculars.

MINOX engineers developed the innovative M*-coating of the lenses which consists of up to 21 different layers on the glass surfaces, adapting the various wavelengths of the visible light. This increases the overall light transmission to an impressive 92 percent, while improving brightness, contrast, detail & color rendering significantly.

Another benefit is a completely new optical system designed by in-house experts with internal anti-reflection & anti-glare coatings to help improve contrast. The 4 models, an 8.5x43, 10x43, 8.5x52 and 10x52 feature aspherical lenses to enhance the contrast & sharpness of the image from centre to edge. To provide a reliable & durable protection against internal corrosion & fogging, the binoculars are filled with state-of-the-art Argon gas.

Another milestone is the mirroring of the roof prisms through the MinoBright technology. This silver-based coating guarantees an improvement of up to 99.8 percent efficiency of the light reflected at the mirror surface. This is yet another improvement towards better light transmission within the system of the HG-binoculars.

The high-tech optical glass is Made in Germany by the Mainz based SCHOTT AG, which belongs entirely to Carl-Zeiss-Stifung, which was founded by Ernst Abbe. High technology originating from German glass pioneers used for innovative optical products by the Wetzlar based optic specialists. All of the expertise from MINOX, a trusted industry pioneer, is combined in this high quality product.

Better & more advanced handling is achieved through the Fast-Close-Focus (FCF), developed & patented by MINOX. With just one turn of the focusing wheel the HG-binoculars can be adjusted from close-up to infinity. This one turn allows fast focusing close-up, & a more precise focusing for longer distances.

With the aid of a scale on the central focusing wheel, the distance to the object in focus is indicated to the user. This additional feature makes these HG-binoculars a reliable distance rangefinder. Despite all their features the new MINOX HG-binoculars weigh just 650 grams.
