With their sharp optics and natural color rendition, the MINOX APO-HG binoculars already rank in the top binocular engineering class. MINOX engineers have been able to extend the field of view by up to 15%, demonstrating the latest technologies in the manufacturing of high quality binoculars. These binoculars are made at our parent plant in Wetzlar, a further reference for highest optical performance.

"Made in Germany" is the seal of approval standing for quality, precision and solidity and expresses our corporate philosophy - a guarantor of meticulous care and precision during the entire development and production process and of products that meet uncompromising demands.

The APO-HG binoculars deliver maximum performance in every discipline. One of which is to include the 21 layers of M* coating and the silver-containing Minobright reflective coating on the phase-corrected roof prisms. Excellent handling of the binoculars is made possible using the Quick-Close-Focus (QCF) feature developed by MINOX. Just a single turn of the focusing knob enables a very fast precision adjustment from close-focus to infinity, with a very sharp image.

The MINOX APO-HG line also features very high quality ED glass and offers the user an outstanding optical performance for superb viewing.
MINOX APO-HG binoculars come in an exclusive wooden box together with an elegant leather case as well as a neoprene strap and lens cleaning set.
