Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Minolta's Activa Compact 12 x 25 FM binoculars offer versatility and power in a neoclassic design that's lightweight and comfortable. An attractive rubber grip around the top, side, and bottom of the body gives you a sure and comfortable hold, even for extended periods of time. The security of the grip, plus their compact size and 12x magnification, make these binoculars ideal for theater or concert goers, hikers, birdwatchers, and travelers.

The Activa Compact 12 x 25 FM's high-quality, multicoated optics and BaK-4 prisms give you clear, sharp viewing across the entire field of view. Their short minimum focusing distance of just 9.8 feet lets you get up close and personal with subjects like flowers, birds, animals, and museum displays without disturbing your surroundings.

The center wheel makes focusing smooth and quick -- even if you're wearing gloves. It can be operated with either hand, letting you focus and track your subject easily.

To meet the visual requirements of each individual user, the sliding eyepiece cups extend and retract as needed, letting you adjust them for a perfect viewing session. The 17mm eye relief lets you view in comfort, especially if you wear glasses while observing. The diopter adjustment ring is independent of the focusing system, but you only have to set it once per user. The Activa Compact 12 x 25 FM uses positive click-stops, making adjustments fast and easy.

From the Manufacturer

Minolta's Activa Compact Binoculars offer versatile and powerful magnifications with high-quality, fully multicoated optics and BaK4 prisms for outstanding image quality. Perfect for theater-goers, hikers, and travelers, Activa Compact binoculars are available in regular and zoom models and are ideal for outdoor sports, backpacking, birding, and any other activity where small size and light weight are important considerations. All models feature long eye relief for eyeglass wearers.

High-Quality Optics
All Minolta Activa Compact and Compact Zoom Binoculars use high-quality, fully multi-coated optics and BaK4 prisms including light-transmissive lens and prism surfaces, to deliver the brightest images in their class. The new optics also incorporate an aspheric lens element to provide clear, crisp images with minimum distortion.

Long Eye Relief
Minolta Activa Compact and Compact Zoom Binoculars feature a long eye relief of up to 17.5mm. This makes viewing much more comfortable even for eyeglass wearers. The eyepiece cup is easy to adjust with a simple twisting motion.

Compact, Lightweight Design
Minolta Activa Binoculars have an exclusive neo-classic design that’s compact, lightweight, and comfortable to hold - perfect for today’s active lifestyles. They are ideal for a variety of occasions including hiking, nature watching, sightseeing and concerts.

Secure Handling
To provide a sure grip and greater handling comfort, Minolta Activa Binoculars feature attractive-looking rubber coatings on the top, side, and bottom of the grip.

Close Minimum Focusing Distance
Minolta Activa Binoculars feature short minimum focusing distances of 9.8 feet and less, which is necessary for viewing close subjects such as museum displays, antiques, animals, flowers, etc. in great detail.

Diopter Adjustment
This allows the user to pre-focus the binoculars to his or her own eyes’ requirements. Diopter adjustment is independent of focusing and needs to be set only once for the user. The binoculars use a click stop diopter control so the adjustment rings can’t be moved by accident.

Center Wheel Focusing
The large focusing wheel can be operated easily with either hand, and allows the user to quickly zero in on a subject and track moving objects effortlessly. Center wheel focusing is quick and smooth even when wearing gloves.
