I will be offering this binocular thru the end of the month as a Special Holiday Promotion @ $199.99. MINOX binoculars with Individual Focus combine high performance, robustness and easy handling Optics experts and outdoor specialists choose binoculars with six-fold magnification as their clear favorite for keeping details in view from a medium and long distance, when in woodlands and out in the field. The MINOX BD 6,5x32 IF is the ideal partner for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts, which has been specially designed to meet the specific needs of this target group. The design of these new MINOX binoculars perfectly coordinates high performance, ruggedness and easy handling. This has been made possible through the consistent application of trend-setting technologies. "Set and forget", that’s the principle applied when focusing the BD 6,5x32 IF; its compact design permits easy operation with one hand, and this is where IF stands for convenient individual focusing of the two eyepieces. Once the binoculars have been adjusted to the user’s eyes, no further focusing of any kind is required. With the mechanics and operation reduced to concentrate on essentials like this, the binoculars are exceptionally robust and simply indestructible. Modern roof prisms were the basis for the design of this highly compact, elegantly shaped and lightweight metal body. With rubber armoring it is exceptionally resistant and good to hold – and it is even watertight to a depth of five meters. The extra-long eye relief of 19 millimeters provide real convenience, and with an exit pupil diameter of five millimeters eyes have plenty of scope to keep objects in sight during the day, also guaranteeing a brighter image in twilight. With the additional folding rubber eyecups they also allow people wearing glasses to enjoy the entire field of view of 130 meters. The design of the BD 6,5x32 IF is based on advanced characteristic features familiar from the latest models in the MINOX binocular program. Aspherical lenses enhance high contrast and detail rendition through an outstanding resolution right into the edges. A phase correction coating on the prisms increases the contrast of the image during viewing, even in dim twilight. Inside the body there is an argon gas filling which prevents fogging of the glass surfaces and additionally provides corrosion protection. Like all MINOX binoculars, the BD 6,5x32 IF also feature a multi-layer coating on all air/glass surfaces for optimal light transmission and brilliance of the image. The scope of delivery of the BD 6,5x32 IF includes a very durable, leather ever-ready case as well as a wide and comfortable Neoprene strap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
