Preview: New MINOX MD 60 Z and MD 80 Z spotting scopes

The request of many hunters and nature observers to be able to use lightweight, compact and high-quality products in the field has been met by Minox which has launched two new spotting scopes: the MD 60Z and the MD 80 Z. .

Minox engineers, thanks to the use of a new prism system, have created a spotting scope that, with the same diameter, is more compact than the 20% compared to the competition. These new optical products are equipped with a zoom eyepiece (fixed) that generates a magnification of between 12x-40x (MD 60Z) and between 20x-40x (MD 80Z).

 

The German company claims that the new Minox MD 60 Z and MD 80 Z feature a high-quality optical system capable of delivering brilliant, high-contrast images with very natural color rendition.

The optical hull is resistant and waterproof up to five meters deep, the nitrogen filling prevents corrosion and avoids the formation of condensation during rapid temperature changes.

 

Both models are available with an internal grille upon request.

 

Binomania will receive a sample of these models in the coming weeks for thorough testing.
