Minox bl 8x33 for up coming safari - 01/29/2013

by bill c. from vincentown new jersey

After researching a pair of binoculars for my up coming safari, the minox bl 8x33 was safari bino of the year in 2010, perfect for me at the price point. Clear viewing , light and easy to adjust. I highly recommend.









































good but not great - 06/02/2011

by Joe from ohio

I got these a while back and i was happy with them until i was able to drop big bucks on a high dollar euro binocular. There is really no comparison between the two. Yeah these cost 1/4 the price but when you have steak somehow hot dogs don't cut it. I'm not saying these are bad it's just that you get what you pay for. I use the Minox for times i don't want to risk a 2k pair, like on the motorcycle. By themselves they are acceptable, just don't compare them side by side. What i mean is, i have to work harder to focus and the brightness and contrast and sharpness all lag behind the expensive one. If you come from a cheap pair you will be impressed. Otherwise bite the bullet and spring for the best even if you have to do some financial gymnastics to accomplish your goal.

Very good quality/price ratio - 03/11/2011

by Alberto from Italy

I have some other binoculars. Despite an affordable price the Minox BL offer a very good quality. In the center of the image the resolution and the contrast is very good. Versus a top quality (and top price) competitor the minox Bl offer an image decay from 3/4 of the image but we have to consider that it cost less than a 1/4 of a top end binocular. The Minox seems resistant and light at the same time. I'm really happy to have an instrument solid, with good quality and cheap that you can use in all weather without panic.

Minox BL 8x33 binoculars - 02/04/2011

by Alex from Orlando, FL

I received a pair of these very nice binos today. I can tell you it was one of those rare moments when I was pleasantly surprised! I did not buy them brand new, but a demo package, and I can tell you that if I had received them brand new, I think I would not even have told the difference. I was impressed. The binoculars produce an incredibly bright, sharp and clear image, this is a pair of excellent quality optics, and worth every penny. Because they have 8x magnification, you can enjoy the real nice quality and smoothness of the image produced. Regarding the color softening or fringing on the edge of the image, I could not see ANY of those. They are also quite compact and light, and have twilight factor (number) - 16.25, which is pretty good for this size. I was deciding between these Minox BL 8x33 and Nikon Monarch 8x36, and finally made what I think the right decision. You should have no hesitation if you are also lost in your options, you won't regret, especially for the price. I am very pleased with these high quality binoculars. Thank you Eagle Optics.
