These Minox BD’s are compact, sturdy, roof prism binoculars, ideal for all active outdoor pursuits. They combine the classic Minox values of high optical performance and mechanical precision, in a robust, modern, practical design.
Their durable, rubber-armoured, argon gas filled, aluminium body (with underside thumb indents for optimum grip and balance), fits even small hands and makes the binoculars suitable for use in any terrain or weather conditions. The comfortable, twist-adjustable eyecups retract to suit spectacle wearers. Their close focusing distance of just 1.6 meters makes Minox BD 8x32 BR binoculars particularly useful for viewing butterflies, insects or other small creatures.

These Minox BD’s combine leading German optical design (Minox GmbH of Wetzlar was part of the Leica/Leitz group at the time), with Japanese optical instrument craftsmanship. I bought them second-hand three years ago as a back-up, so they are not the current model. I’m finally thinning the herd (I’ve got back-ups for my back-ups!), and out they must go. Their overall condition is very good, with a couple of minor cosmetic blemishes but no serious bruises. The optics are clear and fungus-free, producing sharp and bright visual images with plenty of contrast.
They come complete with the original Minox strap and soft carry case, an eyepiece rain shroud, instruction manual and carton, as pictured. Since they’re not in mint condition, the price is only $190, which includes careful packing and registered postage to anywhere in Australia. Inquiries by PM only, please.
