So a standard 8x42 binocular has a relatively large 5.25mm (42÷8) exit pupil and an 8x21 compact has a much smaller 2.6mm one (21÷8). Accessories are included but the only caps that come attached is the rainguard. It fits snug, but keeps both dust and water from seeping in. Strong Points: The strongest feature for me is their field of view, which for a compact binocular is very impressive. Overall their optical performance is also very good and they compare very well with may other compact binoculars that I have tested that are far more expensive than these. I would also say that their build quality is also very good and I like the fact that they are both water and fogproof.

So whilst you do get more image detail with a higher magnification like 10x or 12x, you may have to pan the view about to get a complete view of everything that is going on or indeed miss out on something important altogether. Their maximum eye-relief of 15mm is pretty good and should be enough for most people who wear glasses. Thus it stands to reason that if you are generally going to be observing objects at longer ranges, a 10x or perhaps even a 12x magnification might be the right option. Although, having said that, there are still many other factors and consequences brought about by the higher power that you still need to take into consideration before making your final choice: Field of ViewEvery tiny movement that comes from your fingers, hands and arms gets amplified by the magnification, thus this means that higher powered binoculars make it harder to maintain a steady, shake-free view. a b c d e "Big Scale Progress for Small Arms".

As you would expect with a fixed focus binocular the image sharpness varies. The closer you are to the binoculars hyperfocal distance, the better the image sharpness. Fuzziness was more noticeable when looking at closer images than looking at images in the distance. The first thing that you notice is these binoculars very distinctive body that was designed with the help of Volkswagen. This open bridge design that Minox call their "open comfort bridge" is different to most others in that there is only one bridge connecting the two barrels. Whilst this looks really sleek, before receiving them, I did worry weather it would make the binoculars too flimsy. I couldn't test them to destruction, but I can say that after using them for almost a month now, they feel as robust as most other binoculars out there and you would really have to try hard to bend the barrels out of alignment. So for most uses I am sure these will be more than strong enough. They Minox 7x28 binoculars use multi layered anti-reflection coatings, which is good and means that at least some surfaces (usually the first and the last) have multiple layers of antireflection coatings, but it must be sad that it is not quite as good as fully multi-coated binoculars: The lower magnification will also help to ensure that as much light as possible gets to your eyes to produce a brighter image, helping these binoculars perform in poorer light conditions. This is very important with compact binoculars that have much smaller objective lenses in comparison to full-sized binoculars.

This is very important to be aware of because your eyes require enough light for you to be able to perceive a bright, high-quality image.
