Superb Clarity and Quality
With Minolta's original hybrid aspherical lenses you are guaranteed clear and crisp images, with minimal distortion, over the entire field of view. The binoculars' 100% multi-coated optics and high-refraction BaK4 prism provide images that are unsurpassed in brightness and contrast.
Long Eye Relief and Wide Angle Compatibility
The Activa series feature a distinctive combination of long eye relief and wide-angle viewing that is not easily achieved. This Activa advantage benefits eyeglass wearers by allowing them to see the entire field of view.
Sleek Ergonomic Design
The quality construction of the Activa series is enhanced by a click-stop dioptor control, which prevents the accidental rotation of the adjustment ring. The sturdy rubber-armored body and oversized focusing knob give you a superior feel and operating ease when focusing. Further, the twisting eyepiece cups offer quick and easy adjustments for eyeglass wearers.

This review is from: Konica Minolta Activa 8x40 Waterproof Fogproof Binoculars (Electronics)
This K-M best seller is a good compromise between the low end and the really high end models by Zeiss, Fujinon, and Nikon. Feels real good,although the porro prism design is not a small lightweight model,if you are seeking same. Good rubber coating,easy focus wheel (check its function), and relatively flat field via the hybrid plastic glass aspheric element.Decent light transmission. This is a "genuine article" good binocular you are likely to enjoy and use for every day and even for some backyard astronomy. I liked mine a lot before it got swiped and may buy replacement of the same kind,to add to my bino collection. The vinyl case is cheesy but that can be upgraded for twenty bucks or so. I did not care for the 10 power K-M as much,namely more distortion and heavier.

3.0 out of 5 stars
not the good ones,
By Sierra Chuck (San Francisco) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Konica Minolta Activa 8x40 Waterproof Fogproof Binoculars (Electronics)
These are not the Minolta 8x40 Activa WP FP that are $159 on other sites whose MSRP is $276. This MSRP is $159 and they are selling them for $139, so they must be a different cheaper pair.
I don't know what these are but I don't think they are SKU # 8460-417, the same that are highly rated on ConsumerReports and ePionions. Maybe I'm wrong but I would be careful if you want to buy them and get what you were expecting.
