Minox X-Tour 8x42

The Minox X-Tour 8x42 binocular is ideal for use in forest hunting with its 42 mm objective and a large field of view.The Minox X-Tour binoculars have undergone significant optimizations compared to the predecessor model X-lite, especially in the housing, which is now made of magnesium instead of plastic, in the close focus limit, which is lower, and in the field of view, which is larger. Hunters will appreciate them for their lightweight and optical performance. The focus of the X-Tour 8x42 version is on the large field of view, which, in combination with the 42 mm objective, makes this version predestined for use in forest hunting. Minox's commitment to providing top optics at a very good price-performance ratio has remained constant. The X-Tour 8x42 is a lightweight and compact optical instrument that does not take up much space in a backpack, can always be with you, as the name "Tour" suggests, and is versatile in use.

The Optics
The X-Tour 8x42 achieves its excellent imaging performance through its high-quality optics, delivering sharp, contrast-rich, and detailed images while maintaining neutral color reproduction. The close focus range is only 2.5 m, and the field of view is 129 m at 1,000 m.

The Housing
A robust magnesium housing securely encompasses the sensitive optics while being very lightweight, which is an important criterion for a hunting binocular that one carries in the field. Minox has always relied on a minimalist design, as seen in the X-Tour 8x42: two linear tubes connected by a narrow bridge with the focusing wheel. The reduction to a bridge facilitates one-handed operation. The instrument impresses with its ergonomically sensible proportions and feels pleasant in the hand. The binoculars are waterproof according to IPX7 class.
