Description

The new MINOX Binoculars BL 8x52 with comfort bridge - Uncompromising comfort and performance


The two new models MINOX BL 8x52 and BL 10x52 introduced by the optics specialists from Wetzlar extend the series of exceptionally lightweight, yet powerful binoculars with comfort bridge. With a compact design and ergonomic features these two new models excel from dawn to dusk and on into the moonlit night. The comfort bridge guarantees convenient handling and an excellent grip – even in extreme situations. This open design enables a reliable, single-handed operation that allows more freedom to move when out hunting or observing nature.

 

The letter L in the name stands for “lightweight” and this is ensured by the sturdy rubber-armored body of polycabonate and the ergonomic features. Thanks to a sophisticated sealing technology the new BL binoculars are also watertight to a depth of up to five meters. A nitrogen filling prevents fogging of the optical surfaces, even under severe temperature fluctuations.

 

The powerful light-gathering optical systems feature multicoated lens elements that guarantee the best optical performance and neutral color rendition of the object in view. Thanks to the roof prisms with phasecorrection coating the user benefits from an image with exceptionally high detail rendition and pin-sharp contrast, also in low light conditions.

 

And the specific requirements of people wearing glasses are also accounted for. With the extended eye relief the entire field of view can be enjoyed without vignetting, even if the user is wearing glasses. Twist-type retractable rubber eyecups with individual click stops are another convenient feature. The scope of delivery of the new MINOX BL 8x52 with comfort bridge includes a nylon strap as well as an ever-ready

Comments about Minox BL 8x52 BR Comfort Bridge Binoculars:

I bought these primarily for hunting and secondarily for viewing wildlife. The design makes it easy to use with one hand, which is important for my primary purpose. The big 52 mm objective lenses are important to me for dim light situations, like first and last light before sunrise and sunset, deep woods, and peering into shadows. To my eye, in low light conditions the 55 mm objective lenses make the image about 30% brighter than my other binoculars which have 42 mm objective lenses. The image is bright, clear, and sharply defined. I can easily read 2" lettering on a sign at 100 meters. Focusing is easily accomplished with one finger. The included lens caps are well-designed and fit snug. I wear eyeglasses, which this binocular easily accommodates. I get a full view.

There is some blurring at the edges, more so at the left and right than at the bottom and top. However, as far as I know the only way to eliminate this would be to pay twice as much or more. And the blurring is actually minimal, considering the 52 mm objective lenses compared to the customary 42 or 45 mm objective lenses offered by most manufacturers.

The biggest disadvantage is the weight, even though Minox advertises these as being 'exceptionally lightweight". Hunting with these hung around your neck with the included neck strap would get old very fast. A binocular harness is a necessity with these.
