Minolta Activa 8x42 D WP XL Binocular by esox_lucius ,Jun 07 '04
Pros: Lightweight, surprisingly good view for optics of Chinese manufacture. Cons: Unlike Nikon, no replacement policy with the 25-year warranty. Lens caps and strap are worthless.
I bought these for my wife but find myself occasionally taking them instead of my Eagle Optics Ranger Platinum Class for my morning walks. Very good birding glasses. Had good views of a Scarlet Tanager and Brown Trasher the other day. No perceptible eye strain during a full day's use. The case and rain guards are serviceable, but the lens caps and strap are best replaced with tethered lens caps from Eagle Optics and a Bino Buddy shoulder strap.
