Minox now offers a line of 62mm spotting scopes for the serious
birder or outdoor enthusiast. Minox employs a certain set of company
values - compact design, quality and precision are consistently applied
in all their products. The new scopes certainly meet these ideals.
A
sturdy metal housing protects the precision mechanical and optical
parts against harmful external influences. Nitrogen filling prevents
misting up of the optical system on the inside, even under extreme
temperature fluctuations.
There are those who prefer straight
viewing in a spotting scope, and those that prefer a 45-degree angle.
There can be no absolute certainty of which is better for
you until you
try them. But that being said, it is commonly accepted that acquiring
your subject with a straight scope is a bit easier than with an angled
version. This is of paramount importance to a beginning enthusiast.
