Deutsche Jagd Zeitung (Germany)
The editors of the hunting magazine ‚Deutsche Jagd Zeitung‘ gave a very clear review
after testing of the MINOX HG 8,5 x 52 binoculars in practice: „With its new HG series
MINOX now ranks in the top league for optics“. The December edition of the magazine
wrote that it was not only the light weight of the 8,5x52 that „amazed“ the expert
journalists. MINOX has marked a further step forward in light transmission. Contrast,
detail and color rendition were also ranked in the top level. The testers were also most
impressed by the appealing design that makes the binoculars good to hold and safe to
handle. „The HG series excelled in every aspect“ according to the résumé of the DJZ
magazine: with its compact dimensions and light weight the binoculars are also excellent
stalking binoculars. And further on: it shows that top quality does not necessarily mean
top prices.
The magazine ‚Deutsche Jagd Zeitung‘ has some 280,000 readers and is the most popular
hunting magazine in Germany.

Rheinisch-Westfälischer Jäger (Germany)
In its June edition 2007 the ‚Rheinisch-Westfälischer Jäger‘ reported on the MINOX
BL 8x56 BR: „Powerful middle class at an excellent price“. The test was between two
binoculars with twilight performance and an objective lens diameter of 56 mm. “The
MINOX is well in the lead in terms of weight. Those using an 8x56 for stalking can benefit
from a reduced weight of 100 grams. […] In this price class it is absolutely unmatched
with nothing near it, and there is no great difference to a product costing three times
the price.“Those looking for binoculars that are suitable for hunting, boast high twilight
performance and light gathering power as well as state-of-the-art features, and who do
not want to pay the price of a high-end product, just cannot go wrong here“.
