Maven C2 28mm ED Binocular (7x28)

Product Information

Once again, a compact with dielectric coated prisms is not that common, but is great to see as the increased light transmission is especially important with a compact binocular. If you will be using your binoculars from an unsteady platform like a vehicle, boat or canoe – this is one of the main reasons why marine binoculars tend to have lower 7x magnifications. I have not been able to find out a whole lot of specific details on the coatings and glass used on these compact roof prism binoculars from Minox, but what I do know is as follows: VBR-B 7.92 PDW/CQBW eng". 2009-05-17.

Most people use binoculars to observe distant objects and so this will be of little importance. However there are also some uses where having a very close minimum focus distance is desirable. It is interesting to me that Minox have decided to use a 7x magnification on these binoculars - most 28mm compacts tend to have either an 8x or 10x magnification. The upshot to this is that you really get a nice and wide field of view through these and obviously the image is easier to hold steady. I imagine the other reason is that with lower powered binoculars, you also get a better depth of view where the distance from the hyperfocal distance to infinity is greater, which for fixed focus binoculars is extremely important. a b c d "FNH USA 2008 Product Catalog – 5.7×28mm Ammunition" (PDF).

The Maven C2 tests this notion because it’s hard not to be won over by it. Compact and with premium glass, the C2 7x28 binoculars are easy to love. What the table below does highlight is just how wide a field of view these binoculars have and indeed just how poor their minimum focussing distance is.

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. A good pair of compact binoculars needs to excel in a wide range of areas, this is because I tend to use them more than any other pair. The reason for this is that they are so easy to carry with me, and so I do - I take my compacts with me just about everywhere I go. a b Humphries, Michael O. (May 2008). "Radical Tactical Firepower".
