Maven C2 28mm ED Binocular (7x28)

Product Information

The optics are sharp and the colors are very neutral. Which many like. I normally prefer the warm saturated colors you see through Nikons, but the mavens are more true to real life. Although the Nikon feel slightly more three dimensional. The main reason I prefer the maven is the stable view of 7x. I can’t stress enough how much better 7x is compared to 8x for long term handholding So as you see a good compact needs to cover a lot of bases and to see if these Minox binoculars have what it takes, I was given the chance to take with me on holiday as I toured northern Spain that included a few trips up into the Spanish Pyrenees. Take a look at my full review of the Minox BD 7x28 IF Binoculars below:

As with most fixed focus binoculars these don't have a very good minimum focusing distance. The minimum distance that you can focus on an object is at 20 meters (65.6ft) away, which compared to centrally focussed binoculars is poor (I consider anything under 6ft to be very good). So if you are looking for a compact binocular specifically for things like observing butterflies then I do not recommend getting these. Rather take a look at these close focusing binoculars. In my article on How Different Configurations Affect a Binocular, I do go through the main points on a wide range of binocular sizes and thus it is well worth reading, especially if you are not entirely sure if a compact binocular is right for your needs.Binoculars with 6x and 7x binoculars make it very easy to keep a steady view and in my experience, the difference between an 8x power and a 10x power is not massive. I can personally maintain an acceptably stable image for most terrestrial uses with a 12x magnification, but any higher and I almost always need to use a tripod. a b c d Detty, Mike (October 2008).

The whole point of a compact binocular and the reason why you would sacrifice the greater light gathering abilities of larger instruments is to reduce the size and weight so this seems like the logical place to start.

Fixed focus binoculars like these have a large depth of field allowing your eyes to make the adjustments rather than the binoculars. a b c d e f g h i j k l m n Oliver, David (2007).
