Minox designed the Minox X-Lite 8x26 Binoculars to be your go-to optic for all of your outdoor activities. The 8x power brings your subject in close for observation while preserving a comfortable exit pupil and eye relief, making them ideal for bird watching, hiking, and sightseeing. The 26mm objectives keep the form factor highly compact and light to easily fit in most pockets, packs, and bags without weighing you down. This combination of power and objective size make these comfortable binoculars to carry, hold, and use all day long without causing fatigue or eyestrain.
Anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics and phase-corrected K9 roof prisms transmit bright and clear high-contrast images with true neutral color rendition and crisp clarity.
