Hi, I believe the bl 8x33.... part 62047 was the first gen. I understand the newer bl has been changed, but I would like to know whether thr 62047 8x33 was made in germany? Ed? Schott?
I have an opportunity to buy one, but need information... the minox website has nothing on the bl 8x33 as it appears that size is discontinued. Thanks for any insight you can provide. |

I have the older straight across bridges BL HD 8X33....it says "Made in Germany" on the eye piece trim ring ...for what its worth....I think they are a very nice upper mid range binocular…..from what I heard the slightly newer version with the swept back hinge bridges was just a cosmetic change.....the real upgrade came earlier e hey added the HD to the equation…..
