Boasting aspherical lenses manufactured by Schott AG and a sleek magnesium body, the HG 8x33 BR Asph. binocular from Minox delivers a fascinating level of light transmission and comfortable intuitive handling.
As one of Minox's High-Grade-Sport optics, this fine binocular delivers a
brilliant wide angle view with outstanding brightness and contrast.
Aspherical lenses with anti-reflection coatings enhance the image's
contrast and sharpness from the center to its edge. Each lens surface
is layered with 21 layers of M* multicoating, while the BAK4 roof prisms
are coated with high-efficiency silver-based Minobright coatings. These
proprietary optical technologies yield an impressive 92% light
transmission, with significantly improved brightness, contrast, detail,
and color rendering.
The 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.
