L for light construction
The BL Made in Germany Edition is especially noted for its light polycarbonate housing. The low weight and high-tech special glass are just two of the many advantages that make the BL 8x42 and BL 10x42 so outstanding.

Development and engineering
Precision quality in the smallest amount of space - taken to the limits of technical feasibility. This claim was uncompromisingly implemented during the development, production and processing of this new edition of the MINOX BL 8x42 / 10x42 binoculars.

The MINOX BL line impress in particular with their excellently light and compact design. Optically brilliant, mechanically robust and reliable, they are extremely popular among avid and discerning nature watchers. The once-coveted MINOX classic among the BL line of binoculars, the MINOX BL 8x42 and BL 10x42 are now available in the fascinating new Made in Germany Edition.

High-tech precision optics with high-tech glass
Equipped with high-resolution high-tech specialized glass, these binoculars offer an outstanding optical performance for their class. Impressive light transmission and color fidelity offer pin sharp details and high contrast even at dusk. The lens system is treated with the Minotec M* multi-coating and the prism system with a complex phase correction coating, providing the user with an exceptional viewing experience.

Solid and reliable precision mechanics
In addition to the brilliant multicoated optical system, the precisely engineered fine mechanics guarantee the highest level of robustness, reliability and longevity. Operation of the focusing knob is soft and smooth, enabling a short and fast focusing on the object being observed. Noteworthy is the excellent close range - objects can be observed in full focus and sharpness from 8 feet on.

Progressive and functional design
Form follows function. Product design and beauty of form is debatable - but not when it comes to ergonomics and functionality. MINOX products are developed in close collaboration with Volkswagen Design, who consistently takes the user's needs into account which are then implemented into superb external forms. In terms of ergonomics, the binoculars in the BL 8x42 and BL 10x42 Made in Germany Edition, leave nothing more to be desired.

Minox BL 8x33 BR Binoculars

Complementing its BL binocular series the German optics specialist has now launched a new model with comfort bridge. This new model is the perfect companion for hunters and nature observers. Besides the practical and innovative comfort bridge it boasts and extremely light weight of just 650g as well as an exceptionally large field of view that makes it possible to capture moving objects even faster and far more reliably. The comfort bridge ensures convenient handling and a firm grip, even under extreme conditions. This open design enables safe, singlehanded operation allowing more freedom to move when out hunting or observing nature. The binoculars of the BL series are of a particularly light-weight design, this also being indicated by the letter L in the product name. Additional highlights of the new BL series are its ergonomic features and the rubber armored body of polycabonate that is extremely robust and weather-resistant.

The new MINOX BL 8x33 also features a specially developed sealing technology that makes it watertight to a depth of up to five meters. Thanks to a nitrogen filling on the inside there is no fogging of the optical surfaces, even under severe temperature fluctuations, and a clear view is guaranteed at all times.
A high-quality optical system with multicoated lens elements provides superb light-gathering power and images with an exceptionally neutral color rendition of the objects in view. Thanks to the roof prisms with phase-correction coating the user is presented an image with high detail rendition and pin-sharp contrast, even in bad light.

The individual requirements of people wearing eyeglasses are also fully accounted for. With the extended eye relief the entire field of view can be enjoyed without vignetting, also when wearing spectacles.

Minox BL 8x56 BR Binoculars

The successful MINOX BL line has been expanded to include two real light giants for game and nature observation in moonlight or early dawn. Reasonably low in weight, maintaining the established BL optical quality coupled to an at-tractive price are the main elements of the BL line that the MINOX engi-neers have put into the new BL 8x56 BR and the BL 13 x 56 BR. In spite of their extreme light-gathering power the two latest members of the BL family weigh in at just over 1000 grams.

With tough rubber armoring and an ergonomic design the new BL bin-oculars are comfortable and convenient to hold, this being helped in par-ticular by their relatively low weight. The new metal focusing wheel with ridged rubber armoring provides a good grip and is easy to use with a finger-felt marker for the infinity setting. Thanks to this feature those out observing game can find their subject quickly from long distances, even in twilight, by just feeling the focus setting.
The newly developed, light gathering optical system of the BL binoculars have multicoated lens elements which guarantee quality optical perform-ance and natural color rendition of the subject in view. With their roof prisms with phase correction coating the user is given an image of ex-ceptionally high detail rendition and rich in contrast, even in poor lighting conditions. Nitrogen gas filling prevents fogging of the optical surfaces on the inside, even with extreme temperature fluctuations. Based on a sophisticated sealing technology developed by MINOX engineers the BL 8x56 BR and the BL 13x56 BR are also fully watertight down to a depth of five meters.

MINOX naturally accounts for the specific needs of people wearing glasses. The extended exit pupil allows wearers to enjoy the full field of view which is sharp right to the edges. Twist-up rubber eyecups with click stops are a very convenient feature for spectacle wearers.

Included with the new BL binoculars are a wide Neoprene strap, rain-guard and case.

Model	Magnification X Obj Lens	Front lens diameter	Field of view	Close distance	Eye relief	Diopter adjustment
62165	8x56	2.20 inch / 56 mm	326 ft at 1000 yds, 6.2° 109 m / 1.000 m, 6.2°	29.5 ft / 9 m	0.82 inch / 20,8 mm	±4 dpt

Reasonably low in weight, maintaining the established BL optical quality coupled to an attractive price are the main elements of the BL line that the MINOX engineers have put into the new BL 8x56 BR and the BL 13 x 56 BR. In spite of their extreme light-gathering power the two latest members of the BL family weigh in at just over 1000 grams.

The 13x56 with their high magnification are particularly well suited for observing game and for detailed observation of very small subjects from long distances. Boasting the outstanding resolving power of the modern BL optics range, the light gathering optics give the added advantage for good identification of your subject under less than ideal lighting conditions.
