Ninox forum3/21/2023 Optically, the Minox delivered a lot for the money. Esthetically I liked the combinatuion of matte black and a dark gun-metal grey very much. Not too smooth, a bit velvety, easy to clean. The armour was grippy and felt good and reasuring even with sweaty hands. I used them fully extended, they never unintentionally collapsed, neither in use or in transport (they fit in the supplied bag with fully extended eyepieces). Four settings: fully collapsed, fully extended. It feels solid, minute adjustments are easily done and during the whole period there was no dioptre shift to be found.Įyerelief is 17.5mm, no problem for me, but since I do not ear glasses with the bino I cant comment on this subject. The wheel´s diameter is 33mm, the ridges look at big too widely separated, but actually work fine.ĭioptre adjustment is done via a concentric wheel around the right eyepiece. Focussing speed is fast and precise, exactly how it should be. there is no difference in the effort to turn it, no matter what direction. The focussing wheel turns smooth and without any slack in both directions. Sounds good to me and I apreciate the effort, not to have this bino made in china. Ok, here is the english version of my review.Īt first, again the definiton of "made in germany", as made by Minox: What about the optical and mechanical properties?Ī small morsel: right now I am very pleased with the Minox Bl 8x33 HD. Not too bad for a bino at € 509,- (RRP), sold in german shops for around € 448,. After an in-house quality control, theīinoculars are then shipped to the dealer. Specifications, for Minox from companies in Germany, the EUĪssembly of the binoculars takes place at the Minox plant in The parts for this bino are manufactured, according to given Not a design bought from an OEM, Minox puts an emphasis on The Bl 8x33 HD was developed, from scrach, by Minox. So I asked and they told me this (here in my own words): Well, "made in germany" may mean all or nothing, we all know that. "The new BL HD binoculars are manufactured by hand and subjected to rigorous quality control inspections before leaving the main factory in Wetzlar, Germany." "Die neuen BL-Ferngläser werden im Stammwerk in Wetzlar/Deutschland von Hand montiert und einer strengen Qualitätskontrolle unterzogen." This is what Minox claims on their german website. Since Minox does present the BL-binos as "made in germany",I thought it could be useful to begin this thread by explaining what they mean with "made in germany". Minox sent me their BL 8x33 HD to have a look at.
