Minox BD 10x44 BP
The Porro prism offers clear advantages over roof prisms, especially the higher light transmission, as less light is lost in the optical path through reflection, on the way to the eye. Nevertheless, this design has been somewhat neglected over recent years. The use of Porro prisms always implies increased weight and comparatively larger dimensions of the binoculars. As a specialist for the miniaturization of optical equipment MINOX has been able to develop compact Porro binoculars minimizing these familiar weak points and maximizing the strong ones.

Only binoculars fitted with Porro prisms are able to provide the user with an enhanced three-dimensional shape or 3D-effect of the object in view, this being based on the increased objective lens spacing. With this almost three-dimensional imaging it is a lot easier to exactly estimate the position and distance of the objects in the field of view - something hunters or those practicing water sports will rate very highly. Besides this, the short and compact design offers clear-cut advantages in handling, particularly when every second counts. When the observer views an object with the naked eye, he or she can literally pick up one of the MINOX Porro binoculars at the turn of the wrist, immediately capture the object close up and then put the binoculars back down, standing on the objective lenses and safe from tipping over.
