New MINOX BL HD Binoculars

Announcing the new BL HD Series from Minox

Press Release March 2013:

At the recent IWA Outdoor Classics show, MINOX announced a new line of binoculars to their stable.

Made in Germany, the BL-HD Series offers a number of key improvements to their standard BL binoculars, the main one being the addition of HD glass lenses, reducing the amount of color fringing when compared to standard glass designs. Read more on Extra Low Dispersion Glass here.

Other differences include minor changes to their looks, but the Minox BL HD binoculars still retain the overall open bridge design which have a rubber armour.

Like the standard BL, one of the main features of the BL HD is their very low weight, for example, the BL HD 8x33 weighs a mere 650g

The chassis is fully sealed and they are waterproof tested to a depth of 5m. All the air inside has also been replaces with nitrogen gas, which stops the internal optics from fogging up.

All bins in this series use twist-type eyecups and all have enough eye-relief to ensure that eyeglass wearers are able to use them with their glasses on and still get the full field of view without any shadowing on the edges of the view.

MINOX Guarantee: All BL HD bins are finished off by hand and taken through a precise quality control inspection before leaving their factory. But should you have a problem, they are also protected against all functional & manufacturing defects, from the day of registration for 30 years.
