manny750 Report post Posted March 31, 2014 I'm in the market for some glass and can't decide between the Minox BL 15x56 or the Vortex Kaibabs 15x56. What do you guys recommend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AverageJoe Report post Posted March 31, 2014 the kaibabs are much better than the minox. The minox 15x58 are much better than both but are discontinued. the minox 15x56 are severley lacking when compared to others in the same category. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Report post Posted April 3, 2014 the kaibabs are much better than the minox. The minox 15x58 are much better than both but are discontinued. the minox 15x56 are severley lacking when compared to others in the same category. I owned both Minox (new & old version) and saw no optic difference, when sitting side by side. Zeiss 15's will be out in this spring!!!! I find it hard to believe the Kaibabs are equal to them, but I have not compared. My Minox are very close to my Swarovski's. Is see the Kiabab is available in 20 power!

corkin it Report post Posted April 3, 2014 I owned the Minox 58 but still think the Kaibabs are much better. Great glass...super light to carry around and on a tripod they pic up everything. IMHO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMHO This. Kaibab has better color and sharpness. I have moved up to the SLC 15 and it's a whole different ball game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sjvcon Report post Posted April 20, 2014 Kaibab's are better than the BL's......not better than the 58 ED's in my opinion, but good luck finding those. Just hope they fit your eyes. I didn't like the way they fit mine at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
