How are the other optical qualities of this bino? Does it have much CA when viewing challenging objects? How is the apparent depth of field? How is it in low light conditions? Can you do a comparison with some other brand? Also, does it "feel" sturdy?
I am just curious, the Minox sounds like a nice little package. I wonder how it would compare to the Meopta B1.
Thanks,

Sorry I've been absent. Hogjaws askes about the Minox I recently purchased. I've noticed zero CA though I've never really noticed CA in other binos much either so I may be a poor judge. The image is very very clear and the focus brings me from a distant slope to a small bird in my front shrubs with ease. Low light they work nicely. These are very solid and attractive binos with an excellent image. I want to get a better case for them, but this is secondary.
I don't know the Meopta B1 but I did view the Pentax DCF?, Kahles, Leica and others and, considering my skills, budget and needs, either the Kahles or Minox were choice options. I chose Minox. I know the Kahles has a nice case (secondary) and very nice optics and a higher price. The Minox is terrific for a mid-upper $500's product. I'm very pleased.
