    What are peoples opinion of Minox?

    Hi All, It appears to me that Minox is bigger in the US than in the UK. Those of you that have purchased the bino's or scopes do you find them ok? I have compared the binos side by side with Swarovski at last light and there isnt much difference. Any experience? Thanks Richard
