International outdoor magazine distinguishes the HG 8,5x52 as top product

High Grade from MINOX is also praised by the experts: The international outdoor magazine “Field & Stream” has now distinguished the MINOX HG 8,5x52 binoculars as Top Product with the rating “Best Of The Best”.

As representative of the magazine, Brian Peterson visited the MINOX booth on January 11, at the "Shot Show" in Orlando, Florida and presented managing director Thorsten Kortemeier (center of photo) as well as USA sales director Arnd Abraham the much sought-after trophy. A jury of eleven from the US journal regularly tests and rates outdoor equipment launched on the market, ranging from cross-country vehicles to fishing rods, and awards distinctions to the best products.

The testers were particularly impressed by the optical quality of the MINOX binoculars along with its technical features, because when it comes to cost/performance ratio the HG 8,5x52 is unbeatable. Thanks to the magnesium body these are the lightest binoculars of the class category, featuring, among other things, aspheric lens elements and special glass from Schott AG. With its optical design it gives the user 17 percent more contrast, a light transmission increased to 92 percent based on the innovative M* Coating®
