Preview: New Minox BF 8×42 and 10×42 binoculars

14 January 2015 by Piergiovanni Salimbeni

Wetzlar 14 Gennaio 2015

I prodotti Sport Optics Minox offrono da sempre  tecnologia all’avanguardia e alta qualità, mantenendo un ottimo rapporto prezzo – prestazioni.

Gli ottici di Wetzlar, grazie alla nuova linea BF,   vogliono dimostrare, ancora una volta, che la qualità è sempre conveniente.

I nuovi  BF 8×42 e BF 10×42 sono progettati con le caratteristiche presenti  nelle ultime  produzioni.

Rappresentano dei compagni ideali per gli amanti della vita all’aria aperta: sportivi, birdwatchers, cacciatori, trekker, turisti ed altro ancora.

Il sistema ottico della nuova serie BF è ottimizzato con un trattamento-multistrato per ridurre al minimo  i riflessi, garantire un’altissima trasmissione della luce e una resa neutrale del colore.
Grazie alla correzione di fase sui prismi, gli utenti potranno apprezzare un’immagine nitida e contrastata anche in presenza di scarsa illuminazione.

I due  formati (8x-10x) saranno compagni “ a tutto tondo” sia per gli osservatori della natura che per i cacciatori.
Lo schema ottico dei prismi consente di ottenere una buona compattezza, mentre il rivestimeno di gomma fornisce un’ottima presa e una buona protezione dagli urti.
Sono  protetti contro la polvere e l’acqua  grazie ad un‘innovativa tecnologia di tenuta.

 

Il BF 8×42 BF e  il BF 10×42  resistono ad una pressione di  0,3 bar, o fino a una profondità di tre metri, sono quindi protetti contro la prenetazione dell’umidità. Il riempimento in azoto, inoltre, impedisce l’appannamento delle lenti, durante gli sbalzi di temperatura oltre a proteggere  dalla corrosione; anche in questo caso il design dei nuovi binocoli BF è nato grazie ad una stretta collaborazione con la  VOLKSWAGEN-Design.

Molto moderno e "spigoloso" il nuovo design.

Con una buona pupilla di uscita e i nuovi“paraluce“ estraibili, i binocoli della linea BF sono anche l’ideale per soddisfare le esigenze individuali dei portatori di occhiali, che potranno, infatti, godere della visione dell’intero campo di vista, senza alcuna vignettatura.

Binomania Inside

Before a final review is published, each instrument is analyzed through repeated tests, direct comparisons, and field tests.

In Binomania Inside I share these preliminary stages: test notes, initial impressions, technical comparisons, previews and rumors, useful for understanding advantages, limitations and real suitability of an instrument before a purchase choice.
