Minox BD 10×52 BR

This surprisingly compact, 32-ounce Minox 10×52 is reason for celebration. Its optics are very sharp and bright, and the 52mm objective lenses and 5.2mm exit pupils put it a couple of cuts above most 10×40 and 10×42 binoculars. Panelist Clay Crawford said, ‘Easy to focus, pop-up eyecups work well, feels good in my hands,’ and, most flattering of all, ‘I would buy one.’
