I recently checked out the HG in 8.5x43. In the store, it is quite impressive in many ways, except for the FOV. The store did not have the 8x33 model or any BD models. The 8x33 is more a interesting model for me, partly due to the superior FOV. I have noticed on the net that the HG and BD are both aspherical and have VERY similar specs. Has anyone been able to directly compare the HG and BD in the same power/size?
I've also read on an older BF thread that all Minox models have objectionable flare/glare. Is this true, and if so, does it apply to the new HGs?
Also, does anyone know what the Minox warranty and service reputation are?
Thanks, APS
