BL versus BD
Can anyone say if there is any significant difference in image quality between BL 8x32 BR and BD 8x32 BR ?
Are the differences only in the body, or also in the optics?

Thanks,

Marko

Bl
Hmm ... no reply?

Does anyone know how good the optics of the BL line are ?
(Or the BL 8x32 BR specifically).

I'm almost positive that the BD has an aspheric lens, whereas the BL does not. Other than that (and the body difference), I don't know of other major differences. I've never had the pleasure of seeing either of those that you listed in person.

Best,
Christopher

Yes, it seems the BL doesn't have the aspheric lens. It would be interesting to know how much difference that makes.

Well, just to let you know, I ordered the BD 8x32 BR, after all!

If anyone is interested, I can tell more when I get it.

Hi Marko,I know you have ordered this already,but there is a review of the 8.5 and 10 Minox BR in the "Equiptment Review" section [there is a link on top of the page]on this site under Large Binoculars.I hope this helps.:-)

Thanks, Steve.

Judging from that review, I imagine the 8x32 should be fine!
