Maven C2 28mm ED Binocular (7x28)

Product Information

What is also important to remember is that image brightness and the performance of a pair of optics in poor light also depends hugely on the quality of the glass and optical coatings and not just the exit pupil and twilight factor formula. Good coatings on the lenses and the prisms can in some cases double the amount of light that gets through the binocular, when compared to those that have none or poor quality coatings.

Binoculars with a powerful magnification are in theory able to deliver greater image detail than those with lower powers. Or to put it another way, you are often able to see more at greater distances with more powerful binoculars. If you compare these figures to an full size 10x42 binocular, which has an exit pupil of 4.2 and a twilight factor of 20.5, it also confirms just how good the exit pupil is on the 7x28 in comparison to a full sized pair of optics. 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.

Large sliding glass doors on your patio are able to capture and let in much more light than a tiny attic window.

If you are going to be using your binoculars in less than ideal light conditions, at closer or extremely close ranges or need a very steady view. I also like that Maven have used twist-up eye-cups on these compacts, unlike many who use simple folding rubber ones, on top of this both the Maven C.2 7x28 binoculars and the 10x28 models have more than a decent amount of eye-relief for a compact. 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:Overlooking my beach I could easily see people and dogs over a mile away.

There is a market for compact binoculars and its primary use falls into birding and observation applications. There isn’t much to say except for that it’s perfect for the job.

The other main advantage is that because there are less moving parts, fixed focus binoculars tend to be more robust than traditional centrally focused binoculars. On the down side, their minimum focussing distance is very poor in comparison to most binoculars where you can make focussing adjustments. Another good use for them would be on a boat. Now I know that they have not been specifically designed as marine binoculars and if that was your main intended use for them I would suggest getting a proper set of marine optics, but for occasional use on a boat they would work well. Their 7x magnification makes them easier to keep a still image even on a moving platform like a boat, they are waterproof and their fixed focus design means you get a really good depth of field, great for looking out over the water. a b c d e f g h i j k Watters, Daniel E.

Funny you should find the view through the 8x30 more 3D, I usually find the view through 7x binoculars has more depth, an enhanced sense of space that usually makes for an improved feeling of 3D (well, definitely not like a big Porro, obviously). rifles, Excel Arms, Manufacturer of innovative weapon systems Ontario, CA X-SERIES PISTOL". 2023-06-14.

In terms of brightness and to my eyes these Minox binoculars were about equal with that of my control 10x28 compacts. What is interesting to me is that because of the lower magnification on these 7x28's, compared to my control 10x28's which therefore produce a larger exit pupil, I was half expecting to really see a difference in terms of brightness between these, but as I said to my eyes, they looked about equal.

There is little to no CA, Maven-standard sharpness and clarity, and it’s ideal for on-the-go observation due to its physical size. Their small size, low weight and the very open bridge design meant that taking them on long walks and hikes in the mountains was as comfortable as it gets. Their body design also made them much easier and more secure to carry them in one hand whilst climbing up or down steep and difficult terrain, this helps to ensure that both you and your optics remain undamaged! While it can be used for the target range, its best range performance for groupings is less than 100 yards. Shoot ‘n See targets obviously help and groupings are visible through the 7x28s, but these targets can be a waste for distances under 200 yards.RESOLUTE, Mk4, 5.7X28MM, 16.1" | CMMG - AR 15 and AR 10 Builds and Parts". 2023-06-14.
