Anyone tried them yet?

Recently (reluctantly!) parted with the old 7x42 model and thought they were fantastic pair of roofs..Minox seems to have slimed them down somewhat. Haven't checked to see if the specs have been improved though.

Anyone seeing these in the shops yet?, considering how well rated the previous models were these updated models they seem to have lost interest!!

I loved the optics on my old 7x42 model (now discontinued) and wondering if the jump from 7x to 8.5x would be such a big deal..as far as image quality is concerned?

Hi Matt,

the lighter version of the BD Aspherics will not appear in the UK unless by special order as their RRP for some reason is only £50/£60 below the HGs which makes no sense at all given how much better the HGs are compared with the Aspherics.

Also please see PM.

ATB,

Dave.
