For the dedicated nature observer and birder a high quality spotting scope is an essential tool. To meet that need, MINOX has extended its range of spotting scopes with the MD 88 W APO model, which has an angled eyepiece.The MD 88 W APO provides core MINOX features — compactness, quality and precision. Equipped with a steplessly adjustable eyepiece with 20 to 60 times magnification it offers maximum flexibility.
Fitted with a very high quality and extremely powerful optical system that features high-resolution, apochromatically corrected special glass and multicoating of the lens surface, the MD 88 W APO provides an exceptionally brilliant image, rich in contrast with natural color rendition. The high quality APO technology delivers a color-fringe-free image with a resolution that brings out the smallest detail, even into twilight.
Another feature is the integrated eyepiece that permits the observation of far-off objects in an amazing magnification, and details are experienced in high resolution and image quality.
The dual focus system allows an exceptional ease of use. With the gross focus adjustment ring, the user can first focus quickly on the object in view and then use the fine focus ring in a second step for fine tuning.
With a rotating tripod mount, the MINOX spotting scope can be conveniently turned on its longitudinal axis and fixed with ease – also making the new MD 88 W APO a perfect and essential tool for target shooting. Other equipment features include a practical lens hood that can be pulled out quickly and easily to provide protection against undesired glare from sunlight, and it all comes with an ever-ready case.
When developing the new MD 88 W APO, wishes of digiscoping enthusiasts were also taken into account. This resulted in integration of a bayonet on the eyepiece for a camera adapter, so this scope can be connected to any commercially available digital camera.
The MINOX MD 88 W APO is extremely robust, shock-resistant and watertight up to a depth of 16’5″. Retail Price $1,799.
