Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Minolta Sport Mini Binoculars Lightweight and Compact design makes them perfect to take just about anywhere you go. These quality, compact binoculars are ideal for outdoor sports, backpacking, concerts, theater, and sightseeing. Available in 8x or 10x magnification, both models are water resistant and feature multi-coated optics, long Eye relief (8 x 25WR only) and wide angle of view (10 x 25WR only).

Powerful Performance in a Lightweight, Compact Design
Minolta Sport Mini Binoculars feature a slim, lightweight, Compact design for the utmost convenience - they fold to fit in a pocket. Plus, an attached carrying cord lets the user wear them comfortably around the neck. Sport Mini Binoculars are perfect for theater-goers, travelers, hiking, sports, birding, or other activities in any weather.

Water Resistant Feature Protects Against Unexpected Rain
Minolta’s Sport Mini Binoculars can be used year-round, in virtually any weather conditions. They are specially designed to seal out unexpected rain, mist, snow, and splashes, as well as dust and dirt.

Long Eye Relief
Conventional binoculars with normal eye relief do not provide a proper viewing distance for eyeglass wearers, because the focal point of the eye is too close to the eyepiece lens. The result is an incomplete and uncomfortable "tunnel-vision" image when viewing with glasses on. Minolta Sport Mini 8 x 25WR model binoculars solve this problem by featuring a long eye relief, providing full-image viewing for eyeglass wearers.

High-Quality Optics for Crisp, Clear Images
Minolta is world-renowned for high-quality optics and sharp images, and the Sport Mini Binoculars are no exception. These binoculars are crafted with multi-coated optics and aspheric lens elements, so the images you see will be crisp, clear, and distortion-free.

Focusing Guard Feature
The Focusing Guard feature stabilizes the binoculars, allowing the user to make adjustments using only one hand. When holding the binoculars in one hand and adjusting the focus, the binoculars can be stabilized by easily placing the users thumb on the back of the main body to support the weight.

Twisted Eyepiece Cup with the Click-Stop function
The Twisted Eyepiece Cup with the Click-Stop function allows for easy, one-touch adjustments. Theses twisting eyepiece cups help make adjusting the binocular for people with and without glasses simple, and click stops prevent the cups from moving.

Convenient Diopter Adjustment
This allows the user to adjust the binoculars to his or her own eyesight requirements. Diopter adjustment is independent of focusing, and needs to be set only once for the user.

Minolta’s 25-year USA Limited Warranty
Minolta Sport Mini binoculars are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for 25 years from the date of purchase.

This review is from: Konica Minolta 8x25 Water Resistant Sport Mini Binoculars (Electronics)

I cannot say enough about these binocs. These are great for causal birders who don't want to lug around 3lbs giant binocs.

They have wonderful clarity and zoom distance for such a small size and the quality for the affordable price is superb. The most wonderful thing about these is that when you change the focus, the knob at the top glides smoothly and firmly.

I would avoid getting this for young children since they have a tendency to drop things and often have sticky and/or gooey hands. This is product is too high quality to give them. Get children under the age of 10 a cheap pair of $12 binocs.
