[QUOTE="Kevin Purcell, post: 1497613, member: 68323"] The Minox APO HG 10x43 BR asph. is their FL/ED/HD/XD/etc update of their old HG glass. [url]http://www.minox.com/index.php?id=3305&L=1[/url] I'm not sure if the design truely is Apo. It probably is. The term used to mean something but now I'm not so sure it's just like ED or any other panacea. Or maybe all the Chinese ED designs (with three elements in the objective including the focuser) are Apo. But that's just a marketing/branding thing that focuses on the design goal rather than the specific glass. It'll be interesting to see how good they are and if they're competition for the "Top Four". The other interesting thing to note about Minox today is their web pages all have three language options: German, English and Chinese. I think that says something about their market placement. And their logo "Minox Germany". Like Steiner they have Germany in their logo. The bin may not be "Made in Germany" but that seems to be brushed over. You can't be sure where it was made.
